[Verse 1] I really can't stay baby it's cold outside I've got to go away but I can call you a ride The evening has been I'm so glad that you dropped in So very nice time spent with you is paradise My mom will start worry I'll call the car and tell him to hurry And daddy will be pacing the floor wait, what are you still livin' home for? So really i'd better scurry your driver his name is Murray But maybe just a half a drink more oh we're both adults so who's keepin' score [Verse 2] What will my friends think? I think they should rejoice If I have one more drink? it's your body and your choice Ooh you really know how your eyes are like starlight now To cast a spell One look at you and then I fell I ought to say, "No, no, no sir" then you really ought to go, go, go At least i'm gonna say that i tried well Murray he just pulled up outside I really can't stay I understand baby Baby, it's cold outside Baby, it's cold outside [Verse 3] I simply should go text me when you get home Oh I'm supposed to say no mm I guess that's respectable This welcome has been I'm lucky that you dropped in So nice and warm but you better go before it storms My sister will be suspicious well gosh your lips look delicious My brother will be there at the door oh he loves my music baby I'm sure My gossipy neighbor's vicious I'm a genie tell me what your wish is But maybe just a cigarette more oh that's somethin' we should probably explore [Verse 4] I've got to get home oh, baby, I'm well aware Say, lend me your coat oh keep it girl I don't care You've really been grand I feel when you touch my hand Don't you see? I want you to stay, it's not up to me There's bound to be talk tomorrow well they can talk, what do they know At least there will be plenty implied oh let their mind do this and go Murray just go! "Ma'am I really can't stay" It's coooooold baby It's coooooold baby It's coooooold baby It's coooooold baby But baby, it's cold outside
