Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I really can't stay
Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go 'way
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
[Verse 2]
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
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Put some music on while I pour
[Verse 3]
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 the spell
I'll take your hat, oh, your hair looks swell
[Verse 4]
I ought to say no, no, no sir
You mind if I move in closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay
Oh baby, don't hold out
Oh, but it's cold outside
[Verse 5]
I really should go, oh, Jessica don't go just yet
Oh, wait you are Jessica, yes, for the last time, I'm Jessica
I'm Ashley, you're Ashley
[Verse 6]
I simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
But baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm
[Verse 7]
My sister would 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
But maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
[Verse 8]
I've got to get home
But baby, we'll freeze out there
Say, lend me a coat
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 9]
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think about my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you got pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that old pout
Oh, but it's cold outside
[Verse 10]
Yeah
