Words and music by Frank Loesser
I really canâÔé¼Ôäót stay
But baby, itâÔé¼Ôäós cold outside
IâÔé¼Ôäóve got to go away
Ah, baby, itâÔé¼Ôäós cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that youâÔé¼Ôäód drop in
So very nice
IâÔé¼Ôäóll hold your hands, theyâÔé¼Ôäóre just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, whatâÔé¼Ôäós your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to that fireplace roar
So really IâÔé¼Ôäód better scurry
Oh beautiful, please donâÔé¼Ôäót hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more
Why donâÔé¼Ôäót you put some records on while I pour
The neighbours might think
Oh baby, itâÔé¼Ôäós bad out there
Say, whatâÔé¼Ôäós in this drink
ThereâÔé¼Ôäós no cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
IâÔé¼Ôäóll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move a little closer
At least IâÔé¼Ôäóm gonna say that I tried
WhatâÔé¼Ôäós the sense of hurting my pride
I really canâÔé¼Ôäót stay
Baby donâÔé¼Ôäót hold out
Ahh, but itâÔé¼Ôäós cold outside
I simply must go
Oh, baby, itâÔé¼Ôäós cold outside
The answer is no
You know itâÔé¼Ôäós cold outside
This welcome has been
IâÔé¼Ôäóm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Oh, your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Like waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden auntâÔé¼Ôäós mind is vicious
Eww, your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
IâÔé¼Ôäóve got to go home
Ah, baby, you would freeze out there
Say, lend me a comb
You know itâÔé¼Ôäós up to your knees out there
YouâÔé¼Ôäóve really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But donâÔé¼Ôäót you see
How can you do this thing to me
ThereâÔé¼Ôäós bound to be talk tomorrow
Making my life long sorrow
At least there will plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really canâÔé¼Ôäót stay
Get over that old out
Ah but itâÔé¼Ôäós cold outside
