Baby, It’s Cold Outside

Lyrics

I really can't stay
 Baby it's cold outside
 I've got to go away
 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 mother will start to worry
 Beautiful, what's your hurry
 My father will be pacing the floor
 Listen to the fireplace roar
 So really I'd better scurry
 Beautiful, please don't hurry
 Maybe just a half a drink more
 Put some records 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 now
 To break this spell
 I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
 I ought to say no, no, no
 Mind if I move a little closer
 At least I'm gonna say that I tried
 What's the sense in hurting my pride
 I really can't stay
 Baby don't hold out
 Ahh, but it's cold outside
 ♪
 I simply must go
 Baby, it's cold outside
 The answer is no
 Baby, it's cold outside
 The welcome has been
 How lucky that you dropped in
 So nice and warm
 Look out the window at that storm
 My sister will be suspicious
 Gosh, your lips look delicious
 My brother will be there at the door
 Like waves upon a tropical shore
 My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
 Gosh, your lips look delicious
 Well maybe just a cigarette more
 Never such a blizzard before
 I've got to go home
 Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
 Say, lend me your comb
 It's up to your knees out 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 life long sorrow
 At least there will be plenty implied
 If you caught pneumonia and died
 I really can't stay
 Get over that hold out
 Oh, but it's cold outside
