Baby It's Cold Outside

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

My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry?

Daddy will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry - Hey Beautiful, please don't hurry

Well maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Yeah but it's bad out there

Hey, 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 this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no, sir - You mind if I move in closer?

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

I really can't stay - Don't hold out

Ahh, but - Baby,

It's cold outside

[guitar solo]

I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside

The answer is no - But baby, it's cold outside

This welcome has been - How lucky you dropped in

So nice and warm - Just look out the window, baby look 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 - Gosh your lips are delicious

Well, maybe just a few minutes more - Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - But, baby, you gonna freeze out there

Hey, I need a comb! - It's up to your knees out there

You've really been grand - I'm 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 - Well you think of 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

Ahh, but - Baby

It's cold outside
