Lyrics
I really can't stay - baby, it's cold outside I've got to go away - baby, it's cold out there This evening has been - been hoping that you'd drop in So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - beautiful what you're hurry And father will be pacing the floor - listen to that fireplace roar So really I'd better scurry - beautiful, please don't hurry Well, maybe just a half a drink more - put some records on while I pour
And the neighbors might think - baby it's bad out there Say, what's in this drink? - no cabs to be had out there I wish I knew how - your eyes are like starlight now To break the spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no sir - mind if I move in closer? At least I'm gonna say that I tried - what's the sense of hurtin' my pride? I really can't stay - baby don't hold out Baby but it's cold outside
I simply must go - but baby it's cold outside The answer is no - I say it's cold out there The welcome has been - how lucky that you dropped in So nice and warm - look out that window, at the storm
My sister will be suspicious - gosh, your lips look delicious My brother will be there at the door - waves upon a tropical shore My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - gosh, your lips are delicious Well maybe just a cigarette more - oh, never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home - baby, you'll freeze out there Say, lend me your comb - it's up to your knees out there You've really been grand - I thrill when you touch my hand But don't you see - how can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - think of my lifelong sorrow At least there will be plenty implied - if you caught pneumonia and died I really can't stay - get over that hold out Oh but it's cold outside
