i really can't stay - baby it's cold outside
i've got to go away - 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?
father will be pacing the floor - listen to the fireplace roar
so really i'd better scurry - beautiful
please don't hurry
maybe just a half a drink more - put some records on while i pour
the neighbors might think - 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 - 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 holdout
ah
but it's cold outside
i've got to get home - oh
baby
you'll freeze out there
say
lend me your coat - it's up to your knees out there
you've really been grand - thrill 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 life long sorrow
at least there will be plenty implied - if you caught pneumonia and died
i really can't stay - get over that hold out
ah
but it's cold outside
oh
baby
it's cold outside
oh
baby
it's cold outside
