I really can't stay    But baby it's cold outside   I've 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   Well maybe just a half a drink more    Put some music 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 this spell    I'll take your hat your hair looks swell.      I oughta say no no no sir   Mind if I move a bit closer?   At least I'm gonna say that I tried   What's the sense of hurting my pride   I really can't stay   Oh baby don't hold out   Ah, but it's cold outside   Baby it's cold outside      I simply must go    But baby it's cold outside   The answer is No    Ooh baby it's cold outside   The 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    My 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 half-a-drink more   Never such a blizzard before.      I've got to get home   But baby you'd freeze out there   Say lend me a coat   It's up to your knees out there   You've really been grand   Your eyes are like starlight now*   But don't you see   How can you do this thing to me?      There's bound to be talk tomorrow   Think of my lifelong sorrow   At least there will be plenty implied   If you caught pneumonia and died   I really can't stay    Get over that old doubt,   Ah, but it's cold outside   Baby it's cold outside      It's cold out side.   It's cold out side.
