Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay - baby it's cold outside.
No i've got to go away - baby it's cold outside.
Well 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 the hurry?
And 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 - put some records on while i pour.

The neighbours might think - baby it's bad out there.
Hey, what's in this drink?
- No cabs to be had out there.
I wish i knoew 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 closer?
At least im gonna say that i tried - what's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay - baby don't hold out.
Ah, but it's cold outside.

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 the 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 - ooh your lips are delicious.
Well maybe just a cigarette more - never such a blizzard before.

I've got to get home - oh, baby, you'll freeze out there.
Hey, lend me your coat - it's up to your knees out there.
Oh, you've really been grand - thrill when you touch my hair.
Why 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 pheumonia and died.
I really can't stay - get over that hold out.
Oh, baby, it's cold, out... side.

Goodbye
