I really can't (Baby, it's cold outside) I've got to go way (Baby, cold outside) The evening has been (I've been hopin' that drop in) So very nice (I'll your hand, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (Hey beautiful, what's hurry) And father will be pacing the floor (Listen to fireplace roar) So really, I'd better (Beautiful, please don't hurry) Well, maybe just a half a drink more (Put music on while I pour)

I oughtta say no, no, no sir (You if I move in closer) At least I'm say that I tried (And what's the sense in hurting my pride) I really stay (Oh baby, don't hold out) Oh, but cold outside

I've got to get home (Baby, you'll out there) Say, lend me a coat (It's up to knees out there) really been grand (I thrill when you touch my hand) Oh, but don't you see (How can you do this to me)
bound to be talk tomorrow (Well, think of my lifelong sorrow) At least there be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died) I really stay (Get over that hold out) Oh, but baby its cold
