FF7
I really can't stay
But baby it's cold outside
Gm7C7
I've got to go 'way
But baby it's cold outside
FF7
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
Cm7
So very nice
I'll hold your hands they're just like ice
Bb
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful words you're humming
Bb7
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
FDm7
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful please don't hurry
G7C7
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour
FF7
The neighbors might think
But baby it's bad out there
Gm7C7
Say what's in this drink
No cabs to be had out there
FF7
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
Cm7
To break the spell
I'll take your hat your hair looks swell
Bb
I ought to say no no no sir
Mind if I move in closer
Bb7C7
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurtin' my pride
FF7
I really can't stay
Oh baby don't hold out
G7C7F
Ah but it's cold out side
Baby it's cold outside
FF7
I simply must go
But baby it's cold outside
Gm7C7
The answer is no
But baby it's cold outside
FF7
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
Cm7
So nice and warm
Look out that window at that storm
Bb
My sister will be suspicious
Gosh your lips look delicious
Bb7
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
FDm7
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh your lips are delicious
G7C7
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
FF7
I've got to get home
But baby you'd freeze out there
Gm7C7
Say lend me a coat
It's up to your knees out there
FF7
You've really been grand
I'm thrilled when you touch my hand
Cm7
Why don't you see
How can you do this thing to me
Bb
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my lifelong sorrow
Bb7C7
At least there will be plenty im plied
If you caught pneumonia and died
FF7
I really can't stay
Get over that hold-out
G7C7F
Ah but it's cold out side
Ah but it's cold outside
G7C7F
Baby it's cold cold out side
