Verse 1

I really can't stay
Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away
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

Chorus 1

My mother will start to worry
Baby what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Baby don't you hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour

Verse 2

The neighbors might think
Baby it's bad 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

Chorus 2

I ought to say no no no
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
Oh but it's cold outside

Verse 3

I simply must go
Baby it's cold outside
The answer is no
Baby it's cold outside
The welcome has been
I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm

Chorus 3

My sister will be suspicious
Gee your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Like waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Did I say your lips look delicious
Well maybe just kiss of it more
Never such a blizzard before

Verse 4

I've got to get home
Baby you'll freeze out there
Say lend me your coat
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
Why don't you see
How can you do this thing to me

Chorus

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
Oh but it's cold outside
