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 so very nice (Been hoping that you'd drop by)
(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)
Oh maybe just a half of drink more (Put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (Oh it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink (No cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how to break the spell (Your eyes are like starlight now)
(I'll take your hat, your hair 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 in hurting my pride)
I really can't stay (Baby don't hold out)
Ah but it's cold outside
I simply must go (Baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (Baby, it's cold outside)
This welcome has been so nice and warm (Baby, it's cold outside)
(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 (Mmm your lips are delicious)
Well maybe just a half a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before)
I've got to get home
(Baby, you'll freeze out there)
Say, lend me your coat (It's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand but don't you see (I'm feel when you touch my hand)
(How can you do this to me)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my lifelong sorrow)
At least they'll be plenty advised (If you caught pneumonia and died)
I really can't stay (Your over the hold out)
Ah but it's cold outside
