Lyrics Idina Menzel

Idina Menzel

Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay

Baby, it's cold outside

I gotta 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?

My father will be pacing the floor

Listen to that fire place roar

So really I'd better scurry

Beautiful, please don't hurry

But maybe just half a drink more

[Another version:] But maybe just a soda-pop more

I'll 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 (well, thank you), your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no, sir

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

Baby, don't hold out

Baby, it's cold outside

(You're very pushy, you know)

(I'd like to think of it as opportunistic)

I simply must go

Baby, it's cold outside

The answer is "No"

But, baby, it's cold outside

(come on)

The welcome has been

How lucky that you dropped in

So nice and warm

Look out the window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious

Gosh, your lips look 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

But maybe just a cigarette more

(and I don't even smoke)

Never such a blizzard before

I gotta get home

Baby, you'll freeze out there

Say, lend me your comb

[Another version:] Say, lend me a coat

It's up to your knees out there

You've really been grand

I feel when I touch your 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 got pneumonia and died

I really can't stay

Get over that hold out

Baby, it's cold

Baby, it's cold outside

(OK, fine, just another drink then

Well, it took a lot of convincing)
