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
