I Really Can't Stay I really can't stay, baby it's cold outside I've got to go away, baby it's cold outside The evening has been, so very nice I'll hold your hands, they're just like ours My mother will start to worry And father will be pacing the floor So really I'd better scurry Well, maybe just to have a drink more The neighbors might think, baby it's bad out there Say, what's in this drink? No caps to be had out there I wish I knew how to break the spell I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell My heart will say no, no, no sir At least I'm gonna say that I tried What's the sense in hurting my pride? I really can't stay, baby don't hold up Baby it's cold outside Come on, baby I simply must go, baby it's cold outside The answer is no, baby it's cold outside The welcome has been, so nice and warm Look out the window at that storm My sister will be suspicious My brother will be there at the door My maiden aunt's mind is vicious Well, maybe just to have a drink more I've got to get home, baby you'll freeze out there Say, lend me a comb, it's up to your knees out there You've really been great, but don't you see How can you do this thing to me? There's bound to be talk tomorrow At least there will be plenty to imply I really can't stay, baby don't hold up Baby it's cold outside Baby it's cold outside Oh, it's cold It's cold out there Can't you stay a while longer, baby? Well, I really shouldn't Alright Make it worth your while, baby Ugh, do that again
