Baby, It's Cold Outside


I really can't stay
Baby it's cold outside
No I've got to go away
Baby it's cold outside
Well 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?
And my 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 neighbors might think
Baby, 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
'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no
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
Baby don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside

I simply must go
But, baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
But, baby, it's cold outside
This 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
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
Ooh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before

I've got to get home
Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Hey, lend me your coat
It's up to your knees out there
Oh, you've really been grand
Thrill when you touch my hair
Why don't you see
How can you do this thing to me?

There's 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 can't stay
Get over that hold out
Oh, baby, it's cold outside

Goodbye
