Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay (Baby it's cold outside)

I've got to go away (But baby it's cold outside)

This evenin' has been (Been hopin' 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?)

My father will be pacin' the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar)

So really I'd better scurry (Beautiful, please don't hurry)

But 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 that drink? (Ain't no cabs to be had out there)

I wish I knew how to break the spell (Your eyes are like starlight now)

(I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)

I ought to say, no, no, no, sir (Do you mind if I move in closer?)

At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense in hurtin' my pride?)

I really can't stay (Oh, baby, don't hold out)

Baby it's cold outside

I simply must go (But, baby it's cold outside)

The answer is no (Oh, but, baby it's cold outside)

Your welcome has been so (I'm so lucky that you dropped in)

So very 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)

But maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before)

I've gotta 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 lifelong sorrow)

At least there will be plenty implied (If you got pneumonia and died)

I really can't stay (Get over that old out)

But, baby, it's cold

Baby it's cold outside
