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 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
Oh beautiful
please don’t hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more
not records on while I pour
The neighbours might think
Oh 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, sir
Mind if I move a little closer
At least I’m gonna say
that I tried
What’s the sense of hurting
my pride
I really can’t stay
Baby don’t hold out
Ahh, but it’s cold outside
