Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 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
But maybe just half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour
[Verse 3]
The neighbours might faint
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 star light now
To break the spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
[Verse 4]
I ought to say no, no, no sir
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
Baby, don't hold out
Oh but, it's cold outside
[Verse 5]
I simply must go
But 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 6]
My sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon the tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Your lips are delicious
But maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
[Verse 7]
I've gotta get home
But baby, you'd 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 8]
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think about life-long sorrow
At least there will be plenty in ply
If you got pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that holdout
Ooh baby, but it's cold outside
