I really can't (Baby, it's cold outside) I've got to go way (Baby, it's outside) The evening has (I've been hopin' that you'd drop in) So very nice (I'll hold hand, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (Hey beautiful, what's hurry) And father will be pacing the floor (Listen to that roar) So really, I'd scurry (Beautiful, please don't hurry) Well, maybe just a half a drink more (Put some on while I pour)
The might think (Baby, it's bad out there) Say, what's in this (No cabs to be had out there) I I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now) To this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I say no, no, no sir (You mind if I move in closer) At I'm gonna say that I tried (And what's the sense in hurting my pride) I really cant stay (Oh baby, hold out) Oh, but cold outside
I simply must go (It's outside) The answer is no (Baby, it's outside) The welcome has (So lucky that you dropped in) So nice and warm (Look out the window at storm)
My sister will be suspicious (Your lips delicious) My brother will be there at the door (I ain't worried you brother) My maiden aunts mind is vicious (That ol biddy, she gonna bother me) Well maybe just a cigarette (You don't need no cigarette, its smokin plenty up in here)
I've got to get home (Baby, you'll out there) Say, lend me a coat (It's up to your out there) You've really been grand (I thrill when you my hand) Oh, but don't you see (How can you do this to me)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Well, of my lifelong sorrow) At least there will be implied (If you caught pneumonia and died) I really cant stay (Get over that out) Oh, but baby its outside
