I really can't stay
[Shelley Regner]
But baby it's cold outside
[Kelley Jake]
I got to go away
[Shelley Regner]
But baby it's cold outside
[Kelley Jake]
This evening has been
[Shelley Regner]
Been hoping that you'd drop in
[Kelley Jake]
So very nice
[Shelley Regner]
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
[Kelley Jake]
My mama will start to worry
[Shelley Regner]
Beautiful, what's your hurry?
[Kelley Jake]
My daddy will be pacing the floor
[Shelley Regner]
Listen to the fireplace roar
[Kelley Jake]
Really I better scurry
[Shelley Regner]
Beautiful, please don't hurry
[Kelley Jake]
Maybe just half a drink more
[Shelley Regner]
Put some music on while I pour
[Kelley Jake]
The neighbors might think
[Shelley Regner]
Baby it's bad out there
[Kelley Jake]
Say, what's in this drink?
[Shelley Regner]
No cabs to be had out there
[Kelley Jake]
I wish I knew how
[Shelley Regner]
Your eyes are like starlight
[Kelley Jake]
To break this spell
[Shelley Regner]
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
[Kelley Jake]
I ought to say: "No, no, no, sir"
[Shelley Regner]
Mind if I move in a bit closer?
[Kelley Jake]
At least I'm going to say I tried
[Shelley Regner]
What's the sense of hurting my pride?
[Chorus]
[Kelley Jake]
I really can't stay
[Shelley Regner]
Baby, don't hold out
[Both]
Baby, it's cold outside
[Verse 2]
[Kelley Jake]
I simply must go
[Shelley Regner]
Baby, it's cold outside
[Kelley Jake]
The answer is no
[Shelley Regner]
But baby, it's cold outside
[Kelley Jake]
The welcome has been
[Shelley Regner]
How lovely that you dropped in
[Kelley Jake]
So nice and warm
[Shelley Regner]
Look out the window and see the storm
[Kelley Jake]
My sister will be suspicious
[Shelley Regner]
Gosh, your lips look delicious
[Kelley Jake]
My brother will be there at the door
[Shelley Regner]
Waves upon a tropical shore
[Kelley Jake]
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
[Shelley Regner]
Ooh , your lips are delicious
[Kelley Jake]
Maybe just a cigarette more
[Shelley Regner]
Never such a blizzard before
[Kelley Jake]
I got to get home
[Shelley Regner]
But baby, you'll freeze out there
[Kelley Jake]
Say, lend me your coat
[Shelley Regner]
It's up to your knees right there
[Kelley Jake]
You've really been grand
[Shelley Regner]
I thrill when you touch my hand
[Kelley Jake]
But don't you see
[Shelley Regner]
How can you do this thing to me?
[Kelley Jake]
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
[Shelley Regner]
Think of my lifelong sorrow
[Kelley Jake]
At least there'll be plenty implied
[Shelley Regner]
If you caught pneumonia and died
[Chorus]
[Kelley Jake]
I really can't stay
[Shelley Regner]
Baby, don't hold out
[Both]
But baby, it's cold outside
