I really can't stay...

                        But baby it's cold outside

I've got to go 'way...

                      But 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? 

And father will be pacing the floor...                  Listen to that fireplace roar 

So really I'd better scurry...                            

                      Beautiful what's your hurry?

Well maybe just a half a drink more...                               Put some records on while I pour

​

The neighbours might think...

But baby it's bad out there

Say was that a wink..?

No cabs to be had out there

I wish I knew how...                                  

                  Your eyes are like starlight now.

To break the spell

      I'll take your hat...Your hair looks swell!

I ought to say no, no, no sir...                                                 ...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 hold out 

​

 BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!
