Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay 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? Ain't no cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how Your eyes are like starlight now
To break the spell I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no, sir Do you 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
Baby it's cold outside

I simply must go But baby it's cold outside
The answer is no Oh but baby it's cold outside
This welcome has been I'm so lucky that you dropped in
So very warm Look out the window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious Gosh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious Ooh your lips are delicious
But maybe just a cigarette more Never such a blizzard before

I got to get home But 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
But don't you see How can you do this thing to me

There's bound to be talk tomorrow Think of my life-long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied If you got pneumonia and died
I really can't stay Get over that old out
But baby it's cold, baby it's cold outside
