My mother will start to worry - Beautiful what you`re 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
And 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 of hurtin` my pride?
I really can`t stay - Baby don`t hold out
Baby but it`s cold outside
I simply must go - but Baby it`s cold outside
The answer is no - but baby, it`s cold outside
The welcome has been - How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm - Look out that window, at the 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 - Gosh, your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more - Oh, 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 lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can`t stay - Get over that hold out
Baby but it`s cold out side
