Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay

But baby, it's cold outside.

I got to go 'way.

But baby, it's cold outside.

This evening has been

Been hopin' 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?

My father will be pacing the floor.

So really I'd better scurry.

Beautiful, please don't hurry.

ah, but it's cold outside.

Baby, it's cold outside.

Ah, but it's cold outside.

Baby, it's cold outside.
