I really can't stay (Baby it's cold outside) I've got to go 'way (Baby it's cold outside) This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd drop in) So very nice (I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice) My mother will start to worry (Beautiful what's your hurry?) My father will be pacing the floor (Just listen to that fireplace roar) Now really I better scurry (Sweetheart what's your hurry?) Well maybe just a half a drink more (Why don't you put some records on while I pour?) The neighbors might think (But baby it's bad out there) Say what's in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there) I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now) To break this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell) I ought to say "No, no, no sir" (Mind if I move in closer?) 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 out) Oh, but it's cold outside I simply must go (Baby it's cold outside) The answer is "No" (Baby it's cold outside) This welcome has been (So lucky that you dropped in) So very warm (Look out that window at that storm) My sister will be suspicious (Gosh your lips look delicious) And my brother will be there at the door (Waves upon a tropical shore) My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Ooh baby you're so delicious) Well maybe just one little kiss more (Never such a blizzard before) Oh I've gotta go home (You'll freeze to the bone out there) Hey lend me your coat (It's up to your knees out there) You've really been grand (I'm thrilled when you touch my hand) But don't you see (How can you do this thing to me?) There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my lifelong sorrow) At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died) I really can't stay (Get over that old out) Baby it's cold outside It is kinda chilly Just stay right here baby You ain't gotta be nowhere All right, you win, ha ha ha

I really can't stay Baby, it's cold outside I gotta go away But baby it's cold outside This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd drop in) So very nice (I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice) My mother will start to worry (Beautiful, what's your hurry?) My father will be pacing the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar) So really I'd better scurry (Beautiful please don't worry) Well maybe just a half a drink more (Put some music on while I pour) The neighbours might think (But baby it's bad out there) Say, what's in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there) I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now) To break the spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell) I ought to say no, no, no sir (Mind if I move a little closer?) At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense of hurting my pride?) I really can't stay (Well darling don't hold out) Baby it's cold outside I simply must go (Baby it's cold outside) The answer is no (Oh darling it's cold outside) This welcome has been (I'm lucky that you dropped in) So nice and warm (Look out the window at the storm) My sister will be suspicious (Madam, your lips are delicious) My brother will be there at the door (Waves upon a tropical shore) My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Gosh, your lips are delicious) Well maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before) I've gotta go home (But baby you'd freeze out there) Say, lend me your coat (It's up to your knees out there) You've really been grand (I feel when you touch my hand) But don't you see? (How can you do this thing to me?) There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my life-long sorrow) At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died) I really can't stay (Get over that hold out) Baby it's cold outside!

Baby, it's cold outside I really can't stay (mama, it's cold outside) I've got to go way (I said, it's cold outside) I wish I knew how (tickled to death that you dropped in) To break this spell, to break this spell (you better break that spell, a-go-to) My mother will start to worry (mama, what's your hurry) Father will be pacin' the floor (when he's gotta go, he's gotta go) Really I'd better hurry (please don't hurry) Well maybe just a half a drink more (put some hot records on while I pour) The neighbours might think (mama, it's bad out there) Hey pops (what's that?), what's in this drink? (Ain't no fun to be had out there, you know) This evenin' has been (it ain't even started yet) So nice and fine (take another drink of wine, maybe you'll change your mind) I ought to say no, no, no, sir (you don't have to call me sir) At least I'm gonna say that I tried (give it up, give it up, give it up) I really can't stay (and, don't hold out) Ah, but it's cold outside

Naked as the day we came, I stand before him He is still savage and my wild youth says, "go back to him" Won't you breathe again, oh, lovely? Won't you wanna be with me again, oh, lovely? My heart still stumbles when I say "Go find someone to love you better" Only hurts to know you would let her Won't you breathe again, oh lovely? Won't you wanna be with me again, oh lovely? I laid beside him under the sheets I could not move my tongue Wished bones would speak: "he should know, he should know, he should know by now" Won't you breathe again, oh lovely? Won't you breathe again, oh lovely? Won't you breathe again, oh lovely? You don't have to wanna be with me again, oh, lovely

I didn't learn anything new Oh, what'd you do to me? Stitches won't heal 'cause I keep picking And I keep bleeding, 'cause I keep calling When you fell into my lap I asked if they could take you back Kept thinking I could fix you, kept playing with your hair Could you hold on a little less tight? You're gonna deglove my hands, you're gonna dissolve me Could you hold on a little less tight? You're gonna dissolve my plans, you're gonna devolve me I called the cops when you apologized In the middle of the night With my head in your hands And I called it off when you apologized In the middle of the night with your head in my hands Could you hold on a little less tight? You're gonna destroy my plans, you're gonna devolve me Could you hold on a little less tight? You're deglove my hands, you're gonna dissolve me I'm caught between the eyes of my lover An impossible dream, an insatiable man I'm caught between the eyes of my mother An unbeatable view, like a crow on a branch Could you hold on a little less tight? You're gonna deglove my hands, you're gonna dissolve me Could you hold on a little less tight? You're gonna deglove my hands, you're gonna dissolve me
