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