Baby, It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay - but Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - ah, 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 as 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 - oh beautiful, please don't hurry
well maybe just one drink more - why do you Put some music on while I pour

the neighbors might think - oh, Baby, it's bad out there
say, what's in this drink - there's 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 a little 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 Baby, it's cold outside

I simply must go - oh Baby, it's cold outside
the answer is no - you know, 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 - oh, your lips look delicious
my brother will be there at the door - like waves upon a tropical shore
my maiden aunt's mind is vicious - uh, your lips are delicious
well maybe just a half a drink more - never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
say, lend me your coat - no, It's up to your knees out there
you've really been grand - I'm feeling 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 life long sorrow
at least there will be plenty implied - if you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - oh, get over that old out
but it's cold outside
