[Verse 1]
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)
[Verse 2]
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?)
[Verse 3]
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 the spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks well)
[Verse 4]
I ought to say no, no, no sir (Mind if I move in closer?)
Well, 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
[Verse 5]
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)
[Verse 6]
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 (Ooh, baby you're so delicious)
Well, maybe just one little kiss more (Never such a blizzard before)
[Verse 7]
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?)
[Verse 8]
Oh, there's bound to be talk tomorrow (Making my lifelong sorrow)
Well at least there'll be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died)
But I really can't stay (Get over that hold out)
Baby, it's cold outside
[Verse 9]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Just give me five minutes more
