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
Well Maybe just a half a drink more 
Put some music 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, sir 
Mind if I move a little 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

C'mon baby

I simply must go 
Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no 
Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been 
I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm 
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious 
Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door 
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious 
Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more 
Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home 
Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb 
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand 
Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see 
How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Making 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 old out
Ah, but it's cold outside

Baby it's cold outside

Brr its cold
It's cold out there
Cant you stay awhile longer baby
Well, I really shouldn't, alright

Make it worth your while baby
Ah, do that again
