I really can't stay

But baby it's cold outside

I've got to go away

But baby it's cold outside

The 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 worry

Beautiful what’s your hurry?

And father will be pacing the floor

Listen to the fireplace roar

So really i'd better scurry

Beautiful please don't hurry

But maybe just a half a drink more

Put some records on while 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 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 in hurtin' my pride?

I really can't stay

Baby don't hold out

Ah, but it's cold outside.....
