"Baby, It's Cold Outside" lyrics

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
My father will be pacing the floor - listen to the 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
To break the spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - mind if I move closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay - don't hold out
Baby it's cold outside

I simply must go - baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - ooh darling, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm 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 - waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a half a cigarette more - never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - oh, 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 caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - get over that hold out
Baby it's cold outside
