Ah, oh yeah
Now look

I really can't stay
Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away
But baby it's cold outside
This evening has been, oh, so very nice
Been hoping John, that you'd drop in
My mother will start to worry
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
And father will be pacing the floor
Handsome, what's your hurry
So really I'd better scurry
Handsome, please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour
The neighbors might think
But baby, it's cold out there
Say, hey, what's in that 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 of hurting my pride
I really can't stay
Oh baby, don't hold out
Oh, but it's cold outside

Oh gosh Liv, I really do have to go
Ah, you don't really do you
Come on it's freezing out there, man
I know, it's too cold

But I simply must go
But baby, it's cold outside
Oh, the answer is no
But baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been
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 are delicious
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home
But baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, hey there, lend me your comb
But it's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
A 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 out
But baby, it's cold outside

Don't go John
Ugh, I'm staying
