I really can't stay. (But baby it's cold outside). I've got to go away. (Baby it's cold out there). 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?). And father will be pacing the floor. (Listen to the 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 a little closer?). At least I'm gonna say that I tried. (What's the sense in hurting my pride?). I really can't stay. (Oh baby don't hold out). Baby it's cold outside. I simply must go. (But it's cold outside). The answer is no. (I say it's cold out there). This welcome has been. (I'm lucky that you dropped in). So nice and warm. (Look out the window at that storm). My sister will be suspicious. (Gosh your lips look so delicious). My brother will be there at the door. (Waves upon a tropical shore). My maiden aunt's mind is vicious. (Gosh your lips look delicious). Well maybe just a cigarette more. (Never such a blizzard before). I've got to go home. (Baby you'll freeze out there). Say you lend me your comb. (Baby it's up to your knees out there). You've really been grand. (I'm thrilled 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. (Making 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 old out). But baby it's cold outside
