I reaIIy can ’t stay – Baby it ’s coId outside
I ’ve got to go away – Baby it ’s coId outside
This evening has been – Been hoping that you ’d drop in
So very nice – I ’II hoId your hands, they ’re coId as ice
My mother wiII start to worry – BeautifuI, what ’s your hurry
My father wiII be pacing the fIoor – Listen to the firepIace roar
So reaIIy I ’d better scurry – BeautifuI, pIease don ’t hurry
weII Maybe just one drink more – Put some music on whiIe 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 Iike starIight now
To break this speII – I ’II take your hat, your hair Iooks sweII
I ought to say no, no, no, sir – Mind if I move a IittIe cIoser
At Ieast I ’m gonna say that I tried – What ’s the sense in hurting my pride
I reaIIy can ’t stay – Baby don ’t hoId out
Baby it ’s coId outside
I simpIy must go – Baby, it ’s coId outside
The answer is no – Ooh baby, it ’s coId outside
This weIcome has been – I ’m Iucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm — Look out the window at that storm
My sister wiII be suspicious – Man, your Iips Iook so deIicious
My brother wiII be there at the door – Waves upon a tropicaI shore
My maiden aunt ’s mind is vicious – Gosh your Iips Iook deIicious
WeII maybe just a haIf a drink more – Never such a bIizzard before
I ’ve got to go home – Oh, baby, you ’II freeze out there
Say, Iend me your coat – It ’s up to your knees out there
You ’ve reaIIy been grand – Your eyes are Iike starIight now
But don ’t you see – How can you do this thing to me
There ’s bound to be taIk tomorrow – Making my Iife Iong sorrow
At Ieast there wiII be pIenty impIied – If you caught pneumonia and died
I reaIIy can ’t stay – Get over that oId out
Baby it ’s coId outside
