I really can't stay |
|
(But baby, it's cold outside) |
|
I've got to go away |
|
(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?) |
|
My father will be pacing the floor |
|
(Listen to the fireplace roar) |
|
So really I'd better scurry |
|
(Beautiful please don't hurry) |
|
But maybe just a half a drink more |
|
(Put some records on while I pour) |
|
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) |
|
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 hurtin' my pride?) |
|
I really can't stay |
|
(Oh baby don't hold out) |
|
Ah, but it's cold out side |
|
(Baby, it's cold out side) |
|
I simply must go |
|
(But baby, it's cold outside) |
|
The answer is no |
|
(But baby, it's cold outside) |
|
Your welcome has been |
|
(How lucky that you dropped in) |
|
So nice and warm |
|
(Look out the window at the snow) |
|
My sister will be suspicious |
|
(Gosh your lips look delicious) |
|
My brother will be there at the door |
|
(Waves upon the tropical shore) |
|
My maiden aunts mind is vicious |
|
(Gosh your lips are delicious) |
|
But maybe just a cigarette more |
|
(Never such a blizzard before) |
|
I've gotta get home |
|
(But baby, you'd freeze out there) |
|
Say lend me a 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? |
|
(How can you do this thing to me?) |
|
There's bound to be talk tomorrow |
|
(Think of my lifelong sorrow) |
|
At least there will be plenty implied |
|
(If you got pnuemonia and died) |
|
I really can't stay |
|
(Get over that old out) |
|
Baby, it's cold |
|
Baby, it's cold outside |
