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