Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay
Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Oh, 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

My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor
Mmm, listen to the fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well, maybe just half a drink more
Why don't you 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 this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move in closer
At least I'm gonna say that I've tried
What's the use of hurting my pride?

I really can't stay
Oh, but it's cold out-
Oh, but it's cold outside

I simply must go
But baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
Oh, baby, it's cold outside

The welcome has been
I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Mmm, like waves upon a tropical shore

My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
But maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before

I got to go home
Oh, baby, you'd freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb
It's up to your knees out there

You've really been grand
Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see?
How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow
You're making my life long sorrow
At least they'll be plenty implied
Oh, if you caught pneumonia and died

I really can't stay
Get over that old doubt
Oh, but it's cold outside
Oh, but it's cold outside
