I really stay (but, baby, it's cold outside) I've got to go 'way (but, baby, it's outside) This evening has been (been that you'd drop in) So very (I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (beautiful what's hurry) My will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar) So really I'd better scurry (beautiful, please hurry) Well, just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might (but, baby, it's bad out there) Say, what's in this (no cabs to be had out there) I wish I knew how (your eyes are starlight now) To break the spell (I'll take hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say no, no, no sir (mind if I in closer?) At I'm gonna say that I tried (what's the sense of hurtin' my pride?) I really can't (oh, baby, don't hold out) Ah but it's cold outside (baby, cold outside)
I simply must go (but, baby, cold outside) The is no (but, baby, it's cold outside) This welcome has been (how that you dropped in) So nice and warm (look out that at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious (gosh, your lips delicious) My brother will be at the door (waves upon a tropical shore) My maiden aunt's mind is (gosh, your lips are delicious) Well, maybe just a cigarette more (never a blizzard before)
I've got to get (but, baby, you'll freeze out there) Say, lend me coat (it's up to your knees out there) You've really been grand (I'm thrilled when you my hand) But don't you see (how can you do this to me?)
There's to be talk tomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow) At least will be plenty implied (if you caught pneumonia and died) I really can't stay (can't get over that out) Ah, but it's cold outside (ah, but it's outside)
Baby it's cold
