Baby It's Cold Outside

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 so very nice

Been hoping that you'd drop in

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 pacing the floor

Listen to the fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry

Beautiful, please don't hurry

Maybe just a half a drink more

I'll put some records on while I pour

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

To break this 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 in hurting my pride?

I really can't stay

Baby, don't hold out

Baby, it's cold outside

I simply must go

This evening it's cold outside

The answer is no

I say it's cold out there

The welcome has been so nice and warm

How lucky that you dropped in

Look out the window at that 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

Never such a blizzard before

Hey i've got to go home

Baby, you'll freeze out there

Say, lend me your coat

I mean 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 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

But baby, it's cold

Baby it's cold

outside
