Baby, Its Cold Outside

Intro:


I really can t stay
But baby it s cold outside


I ve got to go away
But baby it s cold outside


The 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 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 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?
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"
Mind if I move in closer


At least i m gonna say that i tried
What s the sense in hurtin my pride?


I really can t stay
Baby don t hold out


Ah, but it s cold outside

(Solo)


I ve got to get 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
Thrill when you touch my hand


Why 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


Ah, but it s cold outside
Oh, baby, it s cold outside
Oh, baby, it s cold outside
