I really can t stay
But baby its cold outside.
I ve got to go way
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 there s just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful what s your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar.
So really I d better scurry
Beautiful please don t hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more.
Put some records on while I pour.
The neighbours might think.
But baby it s bad out there 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 gonna say that I tried.
What s the sense in hurting my pride.
I really can t stay
Oh, baby don t hold out.
Ah, but its cold outside.
Baby its cold outside
