I really can't stay
(Baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go 'way
(Baby, it's cold outside)
The evening has been
(Been hopin' 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's your hurry?)
And father will be pacin' the floor
(Listen to the fireplace roar)
So really, I'd better scurry
(Beautiful, please don't hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more
(Put some music on while I pour)
The neighbors might think
(Baby, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink?
(No cabs to be hired out there)
I wish I knew how
(Your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell
(I'll take your hat your hair looks well)
I oughta say no, no, no sir
(Mind if I move a bit closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
(What's the sense of hurting my pride?)
I really can't stay
(Baby, don't hold out)
Ah, but it's cold outside
(Baby, it's cold outside)
Yeah
(Cold, baby)
I simply must go
(Baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no
(Ooh, baby, it's cold outside)
The welcome has been
(How lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm
(Look out the window, at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious
(And your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door
(Waves upon a tropical shore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
(As your lips look delicious)
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
(Never such a blizzard before)
I've got to get home
(Baby, you'd freeze out there)
Say, lend me a comb
(It's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand
(Your eyes are like starlight now)
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 old doubt)
Ah, but it's cold outside
(Baby, it's cold outside)
Baby, it's cold outside
Make it with you while, baby, oh
