I really can't stay - But, baby it's cold got to go away - But, baby it's cold outside This evening has - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold hands, they're just like ice My mother start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry And father will be pacing the floor - to the fireplace roar So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, don't hurry maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour
The neighbors might think - Baby, bad out there Say, what's in drink - No cabs to be had out there I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like now To break the spell - I'll take your hat, your hair swell I ought to say no, no, no, sir - if I move in closer At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my I really can't stay - Baby don't out Ahh, but cold outside
I simply must go - But, baby, cold outside The answer is no - but, baby, cold outside This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you in So nice and warm - Look out the window at that My sister will be suspicious - Gosh, your lips delicious My brother be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore My maiden aunt's is vicious - Oh, your lips are delicious Well maybe just a cigarette more - Never a blizzard before
I've got to go home - Baby, freeze out there Say, lend me your coat - up to your knees out there You've really been grand - I thrill you touch my hand But you see - How can you do this thing to me? There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my long sorrow At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught and died I really can't stay - Get over hold out Ahh, but it's outside
