Baby, It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay


But baby it's cold outside


I got to go away

But baby it's cold outside


This evening has been

Been hoping that you'd drop in


So very nice

I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice


My mama will start to worry



Beautiful, what's your hurry?

My daddy will be pacing the floor


Listen to the fireplace roar


Really I better scurry

Beautiful, please don't hurry


Maybe just half a drink more


Put some music on while I pour

The neighbors might think


Baby it's bad out there



Say, what's in this drink?


No cabs to be had out there


I wish I knew how


Your eyes are like starlight


To break this spell


I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say: "No, no, no, sir"


Mind if I move in a bit closer?


At least I'm going to say I tried


What's the sense of hurting my pride?

I really can't stay


Baby, don't hold out


Baby, it's cold outside


I simply must go


Baby, it's cold outside


The answer is no


But baby, it's cold outside


The welcome has been


How lovely that you dropped in


So nice and warm


Look out the window and see the storm

My sister will be suspicious

Gosh, your lips look delicious


My brother will be there at the door


Waves upon a tropical shore


My maiden aunt's mind is vicious


Ooh , your lips are delicious


Maybe just a cigarette more

Never such a blizzard before


I got to get home


But baby, you'll freeze out there


Say, lend me your coat


It's up to your knees right there


You've really been grand

I thrill when you touch my hand


But don't you see


How can you do this thing to me?


There's bound to be talk tomorrow

Think of
my lifelong sorrow


At least there'll be plenty implied


If you caught pneumonia and died


I really can't stay


Baby, don't hold out


But baby, it's cold outside...
