Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, will you? Now look
[Verse 2]
I really can't stay
But baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away
But baby it's cold outside
This evening's been, oh, so very nice
Been hopin', John, that you'd drop in
My mother will start to worry
I'll your hands, they're just like ice
And Father will be pacing the floor
Handsome, what's your hurry?
So really I'd better scurry
Handsome, please don't hurry
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour
[Verse 3]
The neighbors might think
But, baby, it's cold out there
Say, hey, what's in that 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 in closer?
At least they're gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?
I really can't stay
Oh, baby, don't hold out
But, baby it's cold outside
[Verse 4]
Oh gosh, Liv, I really do have to go
Oh, you don't really, do you?
Come on, it's freezing out there, man
I know, it's too cold
[Verse 5]
But I simply must go
But, baby it's cold outside
Oh, the answer is no
But, baby it's cold outside
This welcome has been so nice and warm
Look out that window at that 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
Gosh, your lips are delicious
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Never such a blizzard before
[Verse 6]
I've got to go home
But, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, hey, Liv, lend me your coat
But it's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I'm thrilled 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
But, baby it's cold outside
[Verse 7]
Don't go, John
Oh, I'm stayin'
