I really can't stay, baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away, baby it's cold outside
This evening has been so very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like mine
My mother will start to worry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I better scurry, beautiful please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half of drink more
Put some music on while I pour
The neighbors might think,
Baby it's bad out there
Say what's in the street?
No cats to be had out there
I wish I knew how to break the spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks well
I'll have to say no, no... Move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I've tried
What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay, baby don't hold out
But it's cold outside.
