Baby, It's Cold Outside

Well, I really can't stay
But baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Baby, it's cold outside
Well, this evening has been
Been hoping that you'd dropped 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?
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
I'll put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think
Baby, it's cool out there
Say what's in this drink?
There's no Uber to be had out there (Uber)
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell (well, thank you)

I ought to say no, no, no sir
Mind if move in closer?
At least, I'm gonna say that I tried
Oh, what's the use of hurting my pride?
I really can't stay
Oh, but it's cold outside

I simply must go
But baby, it's cold out there
The answer is no
Baby, it's cold out there
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm (a terrible storm)

My sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
There are waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh, your lips are still delicious
Well, maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before

I've got to get home
But baby, you'll freeze out there
Say lend me your coat
It's up to your knees out there (it's a real big coat)
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?

I don't, I don't know, 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
Oh, but it's cold outside
