Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay - But baby it's cold outside

I've got to go away - But baby it's cold outside

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's your hurry?

My father will be pacing the floor - Just listen to the fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry - Sweetheart, what's your hurry

We'll maybe just a half a drink more - Why don't you put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think - But 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, say your hair looks well

I ought to say no, no, no - Mind if I move in closer?

At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride?

I really can't stay - Oh baby don't hold out

Ah, but it's cold outside

I simply must go - But baby, it's cold outside

The answer is no - But baby, it's cold outside

This welcome has been - So lucky that you dropped in

So nice and warm - Look out that window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious - Gosh, your lips look delicious

And brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore

My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Sweetheart you're so delicious

We'll maybe just a cigarette more - Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - But baby you'll freeze out there

Say, lend me your coat - 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 - Just think of my life long sorrow

At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died

I really can't stay - Get over that hold out

Baby it's cold outside
