I really can't stay But baby it's cold outside
Dm G7 Dm G7
I've got to go away But baby it's cold outside
C Cmaj7 C
This evening has been Been hoping that you'd drop in
Gm7 C7
So very nice I'll hold your hands they're just like ice
F
My mother will start to worry Beautiful what's your hurry
Fm
My father will be pacing the floor Listen to the fireplace roar
C
So really I'd better scurry Beautiful please don't hurry
Dm G
Well maybe just half a drink more Put some records on while I pour
C Cmaj7
The neighbors might think Baby it's bad out there
Dm G7 Dm G7
Say what's in this drink No cabs to be had out there
C Cmaj7 C
I wish I knew how Your eyes are like starlight now
Gm7 C7
To break this spell I'll take your hat your hair looks swell
F
I ought to say no no no sir Mind if I move in closer
Fm G7
At least I'm gonna say that I tried What's the sense of hurting my pride
C Bb7 A7
I really can't stay Baby don't hold doubt
D7 G7 C
Both Baby it's cold outside
SAME
I simply must go Baby it's cold outside
The answer is no Baby it's cold outside
The welcome has been How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm Look out the window at the storm
My sister will be suspicious Gosh your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious Gosh your lips are delicious
But maybe just a cigarette more Never such a blizzard before
I got to get home But baby you'd freeze out there
Say lend me a coat It's up to your knees out there
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
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 old doubt
Both Baby it's cold
Both Baby it's cold outside
