I really can't stay But baby, it's cold outside I got to go 'way But baby, it's cold outside This evening has been Been hopin' 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 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 pourYou know the neighbors might think But baby, it's bad out there Er, 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 triedWhat's the sense in hurtin' my pride? I really can't stay Baby, don't hold out Ahh, but it's cold outside Baby, it's cold outside Ahh, but it's cold outside Baby, it's cold outside
