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?
My father will be pacing the floor 
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry 
Beautiful please don't hurry
But maybe just a half a drink more 
Put some records on while I pour
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 this spell 
I'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 hurtin' my pride?
I really can't stay 
Baby don't hold out
But baby it's cold outside
I simply must go 
Baby it's cold outside
The answer is no 
Baby it's cold outside
Your welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm 
Look out the window at this dawn
My sister will be suspicious 
Gosh your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door 
Waves upon the tropical shore
My maiden aunts mind is vicious 
Gosh your lips are delicious
But maybe just a cigarette more 
Never such a blizzard before
I've gotta go home
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 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 got pnuemonia and died
I really can't stay 
Get over that old out
Baby it's cold
Baby it's cold outside
