Baby It's Cold Outside

BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE
I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - 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 – Just listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry – Sweetheart what’s your hurry
Well maybe just a few minutes more – The wind is howling outside the door

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Hey, was that just a wink - 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 closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no – Baby , so cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm - Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious – Maybe I’m too ambitious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious – Couldn’t get more auspicious
Well maybe just a little while more - Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - Baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat – It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - I 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 over that hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside, cold outside

Well I guess you should go – But baby I’ll freeze out there
I could lend you my coat – It’s up to my knees out there
It’s really been grand – Hey don’t let go of my hand
But don’t you see – How can you do this to me
I tried to say no no no – I really don’t have to go
At least then I can say that I tried – My you’re really hurting my pride
You really should go go go – Baby it’s cold
Baby it’s cold, cold outside

Honey I gotta get outta here
Come on Darlin’
Come on what?
Just give me five more minutes
You sure know how to wear a girl down don’t ya
Yes I do
