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's your 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
|
|
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 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 in hurting my pride?
|
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
|
Oh, baby it's cold outside
|
|
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
|
The answer is no - I said it's cold out there
|
This 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 - Gosh, your lips look delicious
|
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical storm
|
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Oh, your lips are delicious
|
Maybe just a cigarette more - Never such a blizzard before
|
|
I've got to go home - Baby, you'll freeze alive
|
Say, lend me your coat - I mean it's up to your knees out there
|
You've really been grand - I'm thrilled 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
|
Ohhh, baby it's cold outside
|
