I really can't stay
But baby its 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 there's just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar.
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful please don't 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 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 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
Oh, baby don't hold out.
Ah, but its cold outside.
Baby its cold outside
