I really can't stay   Baby it's cold outside   I've got to go away   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 my father will be pacing the floor   Just listen to that fireplace roar   Now really I'd better scurry   Sweetheart, what's your hurry?   Well maybe just a half a drink more   Why don't you put some records on while I pour      All the neighbors might think   But baby, it's bad out there   Say, what's in this drink?   No cabs to be had out there   Oh, 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, 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, but it's cold outside      I simply must go   Baby, it's cold outside   The answer is no   But baby, it's cold out there   Oh, this welcome has been   So lucky that you dropped in   So nice and warm   Look out that window at that storm      My sister will be suspicious   Gosh, your lips look delicious   And my brother will be there at the door   Waves upon a tropical shore   Oh, my maiden aunt's mind is vicious   Ooo, baby you're so delicious   Well maybe just one little kiss more   Never such a blizzard before      Oh, I've got to go home   You'll freeze to the bone 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 thing to me?      Oh, there's bound to be talk tomorrow   Making my lifelong sorrow   Well at least there will be plenty implied   If you caught pneumonia and died   But I really can't stay   Get over that old out   Baby it's cold outside      Ooo ooo ooo   Hey, I gotta get out of here   Come on, baby   Come on what?   Just give me five minutes more   You sure know how to wear a girl down, don't you?   Okay, okay, okay, okay
