Baby, It’s Cold Outside Lyrics by Lynn Loesser, Frank Loesser

Frank Sings Loesser (Rare and Unreleased Performances)

[Intro: Frank Loesser]
Hey baby, where you going?
[Verse 1: Lynn Loesser & Frank Loesser]
I really can't stay (But baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go 'way (But baby, it's cold outside)
This evening has been (So happy that you dropped in)
So very nice (I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (But 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 hurry)
Well, maybe just a half a drink more (Put some records on while I pour)
[Verse 2: Lynn Loesser, Frank Loesser, Both]
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 seem to be in (Your eyes are like starlit sin)
Some crazy spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say "No, no, no, sir" (You mind if I move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (Baby, make my conscience your guide)
I really can't stay (Oh, baby, don't hold out)
Ah, but (Baby) it's cold outside
[Verse 3: Lynn Loesser & Frank Loesser]
Baby, come back
But I simply must go (But baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (But baby, it's cold outside)
The welcome has been (So lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (Look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious (Gosh, your lips look 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)
[Verse 4: Lynn Loesser, Frank Loesser, Both]
I've got to get home (But baby, you'd freeze out there)
Say, lend me a comb (It's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand (I thrill 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 (But 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 doubt)
Ah, but (Baby) it's cold outside
