Composed by Frank Loesser in 1944.

Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay, baby it's cold outside

I've got to go away, baby it's cold outside

This 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 to worry, beautiful, what's your hurry?

My father will be pacing the floor, listen to the fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry, beautiful, please don't hurry

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 this spell, I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no, mind if I move in closer?

At least I'm gonna say that I tried, what's the sense in hurting my pride?

I really can't stay, baby don't hold out

Ah, but it's cold outside

I simply must go, baby it's cold outside

The answer is no, baby it's cold outside

This welcome has been so nice and warm, baby it's cold outside

Look out the window at the storm

My sister will be suspicious, actually it's no suspicion

My brother will be there at the door, please you need to try to go slow

My maiden that's mind is vicious, oh you're in trouble

Or maybe just a cigarette more

I've got to go home, oh, 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'm feeling you touch my hand

But don't you see

How can you do this to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow, think of my life long sorrow

At least there will be plenty implied, If you caught pneumonia and died

I really can't stay, get over that hold out

Ah, but it's cold outside
