I really can't stay (but, baby, cold outside) I've got to go 'way (but, baby, it's outside) This has been (been hoping that you'd drop in) So very nice (I'll hold your hands, just like ice)
My will start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry) My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the roar) So really I'd scurry (beautiful, please don't hurry) Well, just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)
The might think (but, baby, it's bad out there) Say, in this drink? (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 to say no, no, no sir (mind if I move in closer?) At I'm gonna say that I tried (what's the sense of hurtin' my pride?) I really can't stay (oh, baby, don't out) Ah but it's cold outside (baby, it's outside)
I simply must go (but, baby, cold outside) The answer is no (but, baby, cold outside) This welcome has (how lucky that you dropped in) So nice and warm (look out window at that storm)
My sister be suspicious (gosh, your lips look delicious) My brother be there at the door (waves upon a tropical shore) My maiden aunt's is vicious (gosh, your lips are delicious) Well, maybe just a cigarette more (never a blizzard before)
I've got to get home (but, baby, you'll out there) Say, lend me your coat (it's up to knees out there) You've been grand (I'm thrilled when 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 sorrow) At least there will be plenty (if you caught pneumonia and died) I really stay (can't get over that hold out) Ah, but it's cold outside (ah, but cold outside)
Baby cold outside
