CA#CCA#CCA#CCA#C[Verse 1]CCmaj7C
I really can't stay
baby it's cold outside
Dm
I've got to go away
but I can call you a ride
CCmaj7C
The evening has been
I'm so glad that you dropped in
Gm7C
So very nice
time spent with you is paradise
[Chorus]F
My mom will start worry
I'll call the car and tell him to hurry
Fm
And daddy will be pacing the floor
wait, what are you still livin' home for?
C
So really i'd better scurry
your driver his name is Murray
DmG
But maybe just a half a drink more
oh we're both adults so who's keepin' score
[Verse 2]CCmaj7C
What will my friends think?
I think they should rejoice
Dm
If I have one more drink?
it's your body and your choice
CCmaj7C
Ooh you really know how
your eyes are like starlight now
Gm7C
To cast a spell
One look at you and then I fell
[Chorus]F
I ought to say, "No, no, no sir"
then you really ought to go, go, go
Fm
At least i'm gonna say that i tried
well Murray he just pulled up outside
CA#7A7
I really can't stay
I understand baby
D7GC
Baby, it's cold outside
Baby, it's cold outside
[Verse 3]CCmaj7C
I simply should go
text me when you get home
Dm
Oh I'm supposed to say no
mm I guess that's respectable
CCmaj7C
This welcome has been
I'm lucky that you dropped in
Gm7C
So nice and warm
but you better go before it storms
[Chorus]F
My sister will be suspicious
well gosh your lips look delicious
Fm
My brother will be there at the door
oh he loves my music baby I'm sure
C
My gossipy neighbor's vicious
I'm a genie tell me what your wish is
DmG
But maybe just a cigarette more
oh that's somethin' we should probably explore
[Verse 4]CCmaj7C
I've got to get home
oh, baby, I'm well aware
Dm
Say, lend me your coat
oh keep it girl I don't care
CCmaj7C
You've really been grand
I feel when you touch my hand
Gm7C
Don't you see?
I want you to stay, it's not up to me
[Chorus]F
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
well they can talk, what do they know
Fm
At least there will be plenty implied
oh let their mind do this and go
CA#7A7
Murray just go!
[Murray:] "Ma'am I really can't stay"
[Outro]Dm7
It's coooooold baby

Fm/G#

C/GGm/A#A7Dm7GC
But baby, it's cold outside
