BABBABBABBAB[Verse 1]BBmaj7B
I really can't stay
baby it's cold outside
C#m
I've got to go away
but I can call you a ride
BBmaj7B
The evening has been
I'm so glad that you dropped in
F#m7B
So very nice
time spent with you is paradise
[Chorus]E
My mom will start worry
I'll call the car and tell him to hurry
Em
And daddy will be pacing the floor
wait, what are you still livin' home for?
B
So really i'd better scurry
your driver his name is Murray
C#mF#
But maybe just a half a drink more
oh we're both adults so who's keepin' score
[Verse 2]BBmaj7B
What will my friends think?
I think they should rejoice
C#m
If I have one more drink?
it's your body and your choice
BBmaj7B
Ooh you really know how
your eyes are like starlight now
F#m7B
To cast a spell
One look at you and then I fell
[Chorus]E
I ought to say, "No, no, no sir"
then you really ought to go, go, go
Em
At least i'm gonna say that i tried
well Murray he just pulled up outside
BA7G#7
I really can't stay
I understand baby
C#7F#B
Baby, it's cold outside
Baby, it's cold outside
[Verse 3]BBmaj7B
I simply should go
text me when you get home
C#m
Oh I'm supposed to say no
mm I guess that's respectable
BBmaj7B
This welcome has been
I'm lucky that you dropped in
F#m7B
So nice and warm
but you better go before it storms
[Chorus]E
My sister will be suspicious
well gosh your lips look delicious
Em
My brother will be there at the door
oh he loves my music baby I'm sure
B
My gossipy neighbor's vicious
I'm a genie tell me what your wish is
C#mF#
But maybe just a cigarette more
oh that's somethin' we should probably explore
[Verse 4]BBmaj7B
I've got to get home
oh, baby, I'm well aware
C#m
Say, lend me your coat
oh keep it girl I don't care
BBmaj7B
You've really been grand
I feel when you touch my hand
F#m7B
Don't you see?
I want you to stay, it's not up to me
[Chorus]E
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
well they can talk, what do they know
Em
At least there will be plenty implied
oh let their mind do this and go
BA7G#7
Murray just go!
[Murray:] "Ma'am I really can't stay"
[Outro]C#m7
It's coooooold baby
It's coooooold baby
Em/G
It's coooooold baby
It's coooooold baby
B/F#F#m/AG#7C#m7F#B
But baby, it's cold outside
