[Verse 1]
[Ariana Grande]
I really can't stay
[Larry Lovestein]
But baby it's cold outside
[Ariana Grande]
I got to go away
[Larry Lovestein]
But baby it's cold outside
[Ariana Grande]
This evening has been
[Larry Lovestein]
Been hoping that you'd drop in
[Ariana Grande]
So very nice
[Larry Lovestein]
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
[Ariana Grande]
My mama will start to worry
[Larry Lovestein]
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
[Ariana Grande]
My daddy will be pacing the floor
[Larry Lovestein]
Listen to the fireplace roar
[Ariana Grande]
Really I better scurry
[Larry Lovestein]
Beautiful, please don't hurry
[Ariana Grande]
Maybe just half a drink more
[Larry Lovestein]
Put some records on while I pour
[Ariana Grande]
The neighbors might think
[Larry Lovestein]
Baby it's bad out there
[Ariana Grande]
Say, what's in this drink?
[Larry Lovestein]
No cabs to be had out there
[Ariana Grande]
I wish I knew how
[Larry Lovestein]
Your eyes are like star light
[Ariana Grande]
To break this spell
[Larry Lovestein]
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
[Ariana Grande]
I ought to say: "No, no, no, sir"
[Larry Lovestein]
Mind if I move in a bit closer?
[Ariana Grande]
At least I'm going to say I tried
[Larry Lovestein]
What's the sense of hurting my pride?
[Chorus]
[Ariana Grande]
I really can't stay
[Larry Lovestein]
Baby, don't hold out
[Both]
Baby, it's cold outside
[Verse 2]
[Ariana Grande]
I simply must go
[Larry Lovestein]
Baby, it's cold outside
[Ariana Grande]
The answer is no
[Larry Lovestein]
Baby, it's cold outside
[Ariana Grande]
The welcome has been
[Larry Lovestein]
How lovely that you dropped in
[Ariana Grande]
So nice and warm
[Larry Lovestein]
Look out the window and see the storm
[Ariana Grande]
My sister will be suspicious
[Larry Lovestein]
Gosh, your lips look delicious
[Ariana Grande]
My brother will be there at the door
[Larry Lovestein]
Waves upon a tropical shore
[Ariana Grande]
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
[Larry Lovestein]
Gosh, your lips look delicious
[Ariana Grande]
Maybe just a cigarette more
[Larry Lovestein]
Never such a blizzard before
[Ariana Grande]
I got to get home
[Larry Lovestein]
But baby, you'll freeze out there
[Ariana Grande]
Say, lend me your coat
[Larry Lovestein]
It's up to your knees right there
[Ariana Grande]
You've really been grand
[Larry Lovestein]
I thrill when you touch my hand
[Ariana Grande]
But don't you see
[Larry Lovestein]
How can you do this thing to me?
[Ariana Grande]
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
[Larry Lovestein]
Think of my life long sorrow
[Ariana Grande]
At least there'll be plenty implied
[Larry Lovestein]
If you caught pneumonia and died
[Chorus]
[Ariana Grande]
I really can't stay
[Larry Lovestein]
Baby, don't hold out
[Both]
But baby, it's cold outside...
