(I really can't stay) But baby it's cold outside
|
(Got to go away) But baby it's cold outside
|
(This evening has been) Been hoping you'd drop in
|
(So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice
|
(My mother will start to worry) Beautiful watch you're wearing
|
(My father will be pacing the floor) Listen to the fireplace roar
|
(So really I'd better scurry) Beautiful please don't hurry
|
(Well maybe just half a drink) 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 this spell) I'll take your hat your hair looks swell
|
(I ought to say no no) Mind if I move in closer
|
(At least I'm going to say I tried) What's the sense of hurting my pride
|
(I really can't stay) Baby don't hold out
|
(Both) Baby it's cold outside
|
|
(I simply must go) Baby it's cold outside
|
(The answer is no) Baby it's cold outside
|
(The welcome has been) How lucky that you dropped in
|
(So nice and warm) Look out the window at the 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
|
(But maybe just a cigarette) Never such a blizzard before
|
(I got to get home) But baby you'd freeze out there
|
(Say lend me a comb) 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 to me
|
(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow
|
(At least they'll be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died
|
(I really can't stay) Get over that old doubt
|
(Both) Baby it's cold
|
(Both) Baby it's cold outside
|
