Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I really can't stay
But, baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
This evenin' has been
And hopin' that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands
They're just like ice
[Verse 2]
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Ah, beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more
Why don't you put some records on while I pour?
[Verse 3]
The neighbors might think
Oh baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink?
There's 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
[Verse 4]
I ought to say, "no, no-no, sir"
Mind if I move a little closer
At least there will be, ooh, that I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride?
I really can't stay
Baby, don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
[Verse 5]
I simply must go
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
You know it's cold outside
This welcome has been
So nice and warm
Look out the window
At that storm
[Verse 6]
My sister will be suspicious
Aw, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's might vicious
Ooh, your lips are delicious
Well, maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
[Verse 7]
I've got to go home
Ah, baby, you would freeze out there
Say, lend me a comb
You know 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?
[Verse 8]
And there's bound to be talk tomorrow
Making 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 old out
Ah, but it's cold outside
[Verse 9]
Bloody freezin', ain't it?
