Baby, It's Cold Outside

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
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 this spell – i’ll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no – 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 – baby don’t hold out
Ahh, but it’s cold outside

I’ve got to go home – oh, baby, you’ll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb – it’s up to your knees out there
You’ve really been grand – your eyes are like starlight now
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 – get over that hold out
Ahh, but it’s cold outside
Oh, baby, it’s cold outside
Oh, baby, it’s cold outside
