I really can't stay

Baby, it's cold outside

I've got to go away

Baby, it's cold out there

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 you're hurry

And father

Will be

Pacing the floor

Listen

To that fireplace

Roar

So 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

And the neighbors

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

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

Mmove in closer?

At least i'm gonna say

That i tried

What's the sense of

Hurtin' my pride?

I really can't stay

Baby don't hold out

Baby

But it's cold outside

I simply must go

But baby

It's cold outside

The answer is no

I say

It's cold out there

The welcome

Has been how lucky

That you dropped in

So nice and warm

Look out that window

Man that's hard

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 cigarette more

Oh

Never such a blizzard

Before

I've got to go home

Baby

you'll freeze out there

Say, lend me your 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 caught pneumonia

And died

I really can't stay

Get over that old lie

Oh

But it's cold outside
