I really can't stay
|
But, baby, it's cold outside
|
I got to go 'way
|
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
|
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
|
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 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 hurting my pride
|
I really can't stay
|
Baby don't hold out
|
<together>
|
Ahh, 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
|
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 shore
|
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
|
Ooh, your lips are delicious
|
Well maybe just a cigarette more
|
Never such a blizzard before
|
I've got to get home
|
But, baby, you'll freeze out there
|
Say, lend me a 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
|
Think of my life long sorrow
|
At least there will plenty implied
|
If you caught pnuemonia and died
|
I really can't stay
|
Get over that old doubt
|
<together>
|
Ahh but it's cold outside
|
|
Where could you be goin'
|
When the wind is blowin'
|
And It's cold oustide
|
|
<together>
|
Baby It's Cold
|
Cold Outside
|
