Lyricist: Composer:
I really can't stay
Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Baby it's cold out there
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
Just listen to that fireplace roar
Now really I'd better scurry
Sweetheart what's your hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Why don't you 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 going to say that I tried
What's the sense 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
But baby it's cold outside
This welcome has been
So lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out that window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Gosh your lips look delicious
And my brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Ooh baby you're so delicious
Maybe just one little kiss more
Never such a blizzard before
Oh I got to go home
You'll freeze to the bone out there
Hey 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
Making my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that cold out
Baby it's cold outside
It is kind of chilly
Just stay right here baby
You are not got be be nowhere
All right you win ha ha ha
