I really can't stay (but, baby, it's outside) got to go 'way (but, baby, it's cold outside) This evening has been (been hoping that you'd in) So nice (I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry) My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the roar) So I'd better scurry (beautiful, please don't hurry) Well, maybe just a half a drink (put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might (but, baby, it's bad out there) Say, what's in drink? (no cabs to be had out there) I I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now) To break the spell (I'll take hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say no, no, no sir (mind if I in closer?) At least I'm gonna say that I (what's the sense of hurtin' my pride?) I can't stay (oh, baby, don't hold out) Ah but it's cold (baby, it's cold outside)
I simply must go (but, baby, cold outside) The answer is no (but, baby, it's outside) This welcome has (how lucky that you dropped in) So nice and warm (look out that at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious (gosh, lips look delicious) My brother will be at the door (waves upon a tropical shore) My aunt's mind is vicious (gosh, your lips are delicious) Well, maybe just a cigarette more (never a blizzard before)
I've got to get (but, baby, you'll freeze out there) Say, lend me your coat (it's up to knees out there) You've really grand (I'm thrilled when you touch my hand) But don't you see (how can you do this to me?)
There's bound to be talk (think of my lifelong sorrow) At least there will be implied (if you caught pneumonia and died) I really can't (can't get over that hold out) Ah, but it's cold outside (ah, but it's outside)
Baby cold outside
