Lyrics She & Him – Baby, It’s Cold Outside

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 — Been hoping that you’d drop 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?
Father will be pacing the floor — Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I’d better scurry — Beautiful, please don’t hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more — Put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think — Baby, it’s bad out there
Say, what’s in this 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 in hurting my pride?
I really can’t stay — Baby don’t holdout
Ah, but it’s cold outside

I’ve got to get home — Oh, baby, you’ll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat — It’s up to your knees out there
You’ve really been grand — Thrill when you touch my hand
Why 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 hold out
Ah, but it’s cold outside
Oh, baby, it’s cold outside
Oh, baby, it’s cold outside
