So how about it sugar
You gonna stay or what?
(Well, I don't know, it's getting awfully late)
Oh, come-on, you could stay a little bit longer
(Oh, it's mighty tempting but, oh)
I gotta get home
(You know you can stay)
I really can't stay (but baby it's cold outside)
I've got to go away (but baby it's cold outside)
This evening has been (so happy that you'd dropped 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)
Well, maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (but baby, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how to break this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say, "No, no, no sir" (ya mind if I move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna tell him I tried (baby, make my conscience your guide)
I really can't stay (baby, don't hold out)
Ah, but it's cold outside
ย
I simply must go (but baby it's cold outside)
The answer is no (but baby, it's cold outside)
Your welcome has been
So nice and warm (look out the window at the storm, baby)
My sister will be suspicious (gosh your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door (waves upon the tropical shore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (gosh your lips are delicious)
Well, maybe just tiny talk more (never such a blizzard before)
I've gotta get home (but baby, you'd freeze out there)
Say lend me a comb (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 lifelong sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implied (if you caught pneumonia and died)
I really can't stay (get over that old doubt)
Ah, but it's cold outside
Oh, you talk me into it darling
