I really can′t stay (but baby it's cold outside)
I gotta go away (I can Lyft you a ride)
This evening has been so very nice (been hopin′ that you'd drop by)(I'll hold your hands, they′re just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (I can tell Lyft to hurry)
My father will be pacing the floor (well, haven′t I met your dad before?)
So really, I'd better scurry (your Lyft′s name is Murray)
But maybe just another game more (put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (baby, it's bad out there)
Maybe, I′ll have one more drink (no cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how to break this spell (don't know what to do now)
I′ll take your hat (Thank you!) 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 hurtin′ my pride?)
I really can′t say (well, baby don't hold out)
Baby, it′s cold outside
You're very pushy y′know?
Fine, okay, just, text me when you get home, I guess
Wait, Wilbur what?
I simply must go (oh, we're still singing? Uh, it′s cold outside)
Supposed to say no (how lucky that you dropped by)
The welcome has been 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 (like waves upon a tropical shore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (gosh, your lips are delicious)
Well maybe just a cigarette more (I don't even smoke)
I gotta get home (baby, you′ll freeze out there)
Say, lend me a coat (it′s up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand but don′t you see? (I feel when I touch on your hands)
(How could you do this thing to me?) Wilbur!
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 cold out)
Baby, it's cold, baby it′s cold outside
Weren't you on love or host? Like, why are you, Wilbur? Wilbur?
