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 brother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry
My daughter will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry
Oh, beautiful, please don't hurry
Well Maybe just a half a drink more
Put some music on while I pour

The neighbors might think
Baby, it's bad out there
I really don't 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 get home by daylight
Mind if I move in closer
At least I'd like to say that I tried
What's the sense in hurting my pride

I really can't stay
It's really cold out
Baby it's cold outside
I simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside

I simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside
Thanks for the show
I'll tell ya it's cold outside

This evenings has been
I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window there's a storm

This really could look suspicious
Gosh, your lips look so delicious
My cat will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
I need to get home to do the dishes
Gee your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a song more
Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home
But, baby, you'll freeze out there
Where's my i-phone
It's up to your knees out there

Hope you understand
I thrill when you touch my hand
Why can'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
Baby, it's cold
Baby, it's cold outside
