Baby, It's Cold Outside

(One, two, a-one, two, three)

I really can't stay

Baby, it's cold outside

I've got to go 'way

But baby, it's cold outside

The evenin' has been

Been hopin' 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?

Father will be pacin' 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 records on while I pour

The neighbors might think

But, 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, your hair look swell

I ought to say no, no, no

Mind if I move in closer?

At least I'm gonna say that I tried

What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?

I really can't stay

Baby, don't hold out

Ah, but it's cold outside

I've got to 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'm thrilled when you touch my hand

Why don't you see

How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow

Think of my lifelong sorrow

At least there will be plenty implied

If you caught pneumonia and died

I really can't stay

Get over that hold up

Ah, but it's cold outside

Oh baby, it's cold outside

Oh baby, it's cold outside
