I really cant stay
(Baby, its cold outside)
Ive got to go away
(But baby, its cold outside)
This evening has been
(Been hoping that youd drop in)
So very nice
(Ill hold your hands, theyre just like ice)
My mother will start to worry
(Beautiful, whats your hurry)
My father will be pacing the floor
(Listen to the fireplace roar)
So really Id better scurry
(Beautiful, please dont hurry)
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
(Put some records on while I pour)
Neighbors might think
(Baby, its bad out there)
Say, whats 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
(Ill take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
(Mind if I move in closer)
At least Im gonna say that I tried
(Whats the sense in hurting my pride?)
I really cant stay
(Baby, dont hold out)
Baby, its cold outside
I simply must go
(Baby, its cold outside)
Oh, the answer is no
(Baby, its cold outside)
Your welcome has been
(How lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm
(Look out the window at that strom)
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 aunts mind is so vicious
(Your lips are delicious)
Well, maybe just a cigarette more
(Never such a blizzard before)
Ive got to go home
(Baby, youll freeze out there)
Say lend me a comb
(Its up to your knees out there)
Youve really been grand
(I thrill when you touch my hand)
But dont you see?
(How can you do this thing to me?)
Theres bound to be talk tomorrow
(Think of my life long sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implied
(If you caught pneumonia and died)
I really cant stay
(Get over that old doubt)
Baby, its cold outside
