Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay (But, baby, it's cold outside)

I've got to go away (Well, 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?)

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

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

Well, maybe just a half a drink more (Put some records on while I pour)

The neighbors might think (Well, 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 the spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)

I ought to say, "No, no, no, sir" (Mind if I move a little closer?)

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

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

Ah, but it's cold outside

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

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

This welcome has been (So lucky that you dropped in)

So nice and warm (Look out the window at that storm)

My sister will be suspicious (Man, your lips look so delicious)

My brother will be there at the door (Waves upon the tropical shore)

My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Gosh, your lips look so delicious)

Well, maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before)

I've gotta go home (Well, baby, you'll freeze out there)

Say, would you lend me a comb? (It's up to your knees out there)

You've really been grand (So thrilled 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 (Making 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 out)

Ah, but it's cold outside
