Baby, It's Cold Outside

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

My mother will start to worry Beautiful, what's your hurry?
And father will be pacing the floor Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry Beautiful, what's your hurry?
Well, 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, I'm sorry Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried What's the point in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay Baby, don't hold out
Oh, but it's cold outside

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

My sister will be suspicious Gosh, your lips looks so delicious
My brother will be here at the door Waves upon the tropical shore
My maiden aunts mind is vicious Gosh, your lips looks so delicious
Or maybe just a cigarette more Never such a blizzard before

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 Your eyes are like starlight now
Oh, but don't you see? How could 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 caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
