Baby, It's Cold Outside

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 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 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 the storm My sister will be suspicious, actually it’s no suspicion My brother will be there at the door, please you need to try to go slow My maiden that’s mind is vicious, oh you’re in trouble Or maybe just a cigarette more I’ve got to go home, oh, baby, you’ll freeze out there Say, lend me your coat, It’s up to your knees out there You’ve really been grand, I’m feeling you touch my hand But don’t you see How can you do this to me? There’s bound to be talk tomorrow, think of 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 hold out Ah, but it’s cold outside
