Baby, It's Cold Outside — She & Him

I really can't stay I've got to go 'way

This evening has been So very nice (I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)

My mother will start to worry And father will be pacing the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar)

So really I'd better scurry Well, maybe just a half a drink more (Put some records on while I pour)

The neighbors might think 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 hurting my pride?)

I really can't stay (Oh baby, don't hold out) Ah but it's cold outside

I simply must go The answer is no

The welcome has been So nice and warm (Look out that window at that storm)

My sister will be suspicious My brother will be there at the door (Waves upon a tropical shore)

My maiden aunt's mind is vicious Well, maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before)

I got to get home Say, lend me a coat (It's up to your knees out there)

You've really been grand (I'm thrilled when you touch my hand) Why don't you see

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 Ah, but it's cold outside

Where could you be going When the wind is blowing And it's cold outside? Baby it's cold, cold outside
