I really can't stay But baby it's cold outside I've got to go away But baby it's cold outside The evening has been Hoping that you're dropping So very nice I'll hold your hands They're just like ice My mother will start to worry Beautiful, what's your hurry And father will be pacing the floor Listen to the fireplace roar So really I'd better scurry Put some records on while I pour The neighbors might see Baby it's bad out there Say what's in this dream No cops to be had out there I wish I knew how To break this spell I'll take your hand Your hair looks fine I oughta say no, no, no, sir Might as well move in a little closer At least I'm gonna say that I tried What's the point of hurting like mine I really can't stay But baby it's cold outside I simply must go Baby it's cold outside The answer is no Baby it's cold outside The 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 her lips look so delicious My brother will be here at the door Waves upon a tropical shore A moving hand's mind is vicious Gosh her lips look so delicious Well maybe just a cigarette more Never such a blazer before I've got to get home Baby you'll freeze out there Say lend me a coat Talk to your niece out there You've really been great Your bars are like starlight now Oh but don't you see How could you do this thing to me There's bound to be talk tomorrow Make a minor promise, sir At least there will be plenty implied If you don't mind and I Really can't stay Oh baby it's cold outside
