[Verse 1: Gil McKinney & Emily Swallow]
I really can't stay
But baby, it's cold outside
Don't wanna go away
Yeah 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

[Verse 2: Gil McKinney & Emily Swallow]
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar
But who says I have to scurry?
Oh beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more
I'll put some records on while you pour

[Verse 3: Gil McKinney & Emily Swallow]
The neighbors might think
They know that it's bad out there
What do you have in your drink?
No cabs to be had out there
Don't wanna know how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
[Pre-Chorus 1: Gil McKinney & Emily Swallow]
I ought to say, no, no, no
Mind if I move in closer?
Not even gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride?

[Chorus: Gil McKinney, Emily Swallow & Both]
I really can't stay
Oh baby, it's cold out
Baby, it's cold outside

[Verse 4: Gil McKinney & Emily Swallow]
I'm not gonna go
Baby, it's cold outside
Just look at that snow
Yeah baby, it's cold outside
Your welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out that window at that storm

[Verse 5: Gil McKinney & Emily Swallow]
My sister will be suspicious
God, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon the tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Girl, your lips are so delicious
So maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
[Verse 6: Gil McKinney & Emily Swallow]
Don't wanna get home
Oh baby, you'd freeze out there
Say, Here, take my coat
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don't you see?
So glad you're staying here with me

[Pre-Chorus 2: Gil McKinney & Emily Swallow]
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you got pneumonia and died

[Chorus: Gil McKinney, Emily Swallow & Both]
Here I will stay
So happy the snow drops
Baby, it's co-old ou-outsi-i-ide

[Spoken: Gil McKinney & Emily Swallow]
So, you sure you wanna stay?
Just stop talking already!
Nice
