Lady A Baby, It's Cold Outside
[Verse 1]
I really can't stay
Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Baby, it's cold out there
[Verse 2]
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
[Verse 3]
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor
Just listen to that fireplace roar
[Verse 4]
Now really I'd better scurry
Sweetheart, what's your hurry?
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Why don't you put some records on while I pour?
[Verse 5]
The neighbors might think
Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink?
No cabs to be had out there
[Verse 6]
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
[Verse 7]
I ought to say 'no, no, no sir'
Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm going to say that I tried
What's the sense in hurting my pride?
[Verse 8]
I really can't stay
Baby, don't hold out!
Oh, but it's cold outside
[Verse 9]
I simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
But baby, it's cold outside
[Verse 10]
This welcome has been
So lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out that window at that storm
[Verse 11]
My sister will be suspicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
And my brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
[Verse 12]
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Ooh, baby you're so delicious
Maybe just one little kiss more
Never such a blizzard before
[Verse 13]
Oh, I got to go home
You'll freeze to the bone out there
Hey, lend me your coat
It's up to your knees out there
[Verse 14]
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?
[Verse 15]
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Making my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
[Verse 16]
I really can't stay
Get over that cold out
Baby, it's cold outside
[Verse 17
It is kind of chilly
Just stay right here baby
You are not got be be nowhere
All right, you win, ha ha ha
