Baby, It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay - but baby it's cold outside I've got to go away - but 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 words you're humming And father will be pacing 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 records on while I pour The neighbours might think - but 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 hairs 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 - what's the sense of hurting my pride? I really can't stay - oh baby don't hold out Ah but it's cold outside - baby it's cold outside I simply must go - but baby it's cold outside The answer is no - but baby it's cold outside The welcome has been - how lucky that you dropped in So nice and warm - look out that window at that storm My sister will be suspicious - god 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 -never such a blizzard before I got to get home - but baby you'd freeze out there Say, lend me a coat - it's up to your knees out there You've really been grand - I'm thrilled when you touch my hand Why 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 hold-out Ah but it's cold outside - ah but it's cold outside Where could you be going When the wind is blowing And it's cold outside? Baby it's cold, cold outside
