I really can't stay (Baby, it's cold outside) |
|
I've got to go 'way (Baby, it's cold outside) |
|
The evening has been (I've been hopin' that you'd drop in) |
|
So very nice (I'll hold your hand, they're just like ice) |
|
My mother will start to worry (Hey beautiful, what's your hurry) |
|
And 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 music 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 oughtta say no, no, no sir (You mind if I move in closer) |
|
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (And what's the sense in hurting my pride) |
|
I really can't stay (Oh baby, don't hold out) |
|
Oh, but it's cold outside |
|
I simply must go (It's cold outside) |
|
The answer is no (Baby, it's cold outside) |
|
The welcome has been (So lucky that you dropped in) |
|
So nice and warm (Look out the window at that storm) |
|
My sister will be suspicious (Your lips look delicious) |
|
My brother will be there at the door (I ain't worried about you brother) |
|
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (That ol' biddy, she ain't gonna bother me) |
|
Well maybe just a cigarette more (You don't need no cigarette, it's smokin' plenty up in here) |
|
I've got to get home (Baby, you'll freeze out there) |
|
Say, lend me a comb (It's up to your knees out there) |
|
You've really been grand (I thrill when you touch my hand) |
|
Oh, but don't you see (How can you do this thing to me) |
|
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Well, think of my lifelong 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 baby it's cold outside |
