I really can't stay, (Baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go 'way, (Baby, it's cold outside)
The evening has been, so very nice
(Been hoping that you'd drop in)
(I hold your hands, there just like ice)
My mother will start to worry
(Beautiful what's your hurry)
And father will be pacin' the floor
(Listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry
(Beautiful please don't hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more
(Put some music on while I poor)
The neighbours might think, (Baby, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink, (No cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how, 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 in closer)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
(Whats the sence in hurting my pride)
I really can't stay, (Baby dont hold out,) it's cold outside.
I simply must go, (Baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no, (Uhh, Baby, it's cold outside)
The welcome has been, (How lucky that you dropped in), so nice and warm
(Look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious, (My your lips look delicious),
My brother will be there at the door, (Waves up on the tropical shore),
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious, (Gosh your lips look delicious),
Well mabe just a half a drink more, (Never such a blizzard before),
I've got to get home, (Baby, you'll freeze out there)
Say lend me a comb, (It's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand,(Your eyes are like starlight now), but don't you see,
(How can you do this thing to me)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
At least there will be plenty implied, (If you cought pneumonia and died),
I really can't stay,(Get over that old doubt), out there it's cold outside
It's cold outside
Baby, it's cold outside
