Baby Its Cold Outside
I really can't stay
But baby it's cold outside
Gm7 C7
I've got to go 'way
But baby it's cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
Cm7
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful words you're humming
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
G7 C7
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
Gm7 C7
Say, what's in this drink?
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
Cm7
To break the spell
I'll take your hat, 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 hurtin' my pride?
I really can't stay
Oh baby don't hold out
Ah but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
I simply must go
But baby it's cold outside
Gm7 C7
The answer is no
But baby it's cold outside
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
Cm7
So nice and warm
Look out that 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
G7 C7
Well, maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before
I've got to get home
But baby you'd freeze out there
Gm7 C7
Say, lend me a coat
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I'm thrilled when you touch my hand
Cm7
Why 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 hold-out
Ah but it's cold outside
Ah but it's cold outside
