Baby, It's Cold Outside
I really can't stay - (But baby it's cold outside) I've got to go 'way - (But 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?) And Father will be pacing the floor - (Listen to that fireplace roar) So really I'd better scurry - (Beautiful, please don't hurry) Well maybe just a half a drink more - (Put some records on while I pour) The neighbours might think - (But 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 the spell - (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell) I ought to say no, no, no, sir - (Mind if I move in 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)
(Both) Ah, but it's cold outside
I simply must go - (But baby it's cold outside) Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The answer is no - (But baby it's cold outside) This welcome has been - (How lucky that you dropped in) So nice and warm - (Look out the window at that storm!) My sister will be suspicious - (Gosh your lips look delicious!) My brother will be there at the door - (Waves upon a tropical shore) My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - (Boy, your lips look delicious!) Well maybe just a cigarette more - (Never such a blizzard before) I got to get home - (But, baby you'll freeze out there) Say, lend me your comb - (It's up to your knees out there) You've really been grand - (I'll thrill when you touch my hand) But don't you see? - (How can you do this thing to me?) There's bound to be talk tomorrow - (Think of my life-long sorrow) At least there will be plenty implied - (If you caught pneumonia and died) I really can't stay - (Get rid of that old out)
(Both) Ah, but it's cold outside
