Lyrics

Bette: I really can't stay
James: but baby, it's cold outside
Bette: I got to go 'way
James: but baby, it's cold outside
Bette: this evening has been
James: been hopin' that you'd drop in
Bette: so very nice
James: I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
Bette: my mother will start to worry
James: beautiful, what's your hurry?
Bette: my father will be pacing the floor
James: listen to that fireplace roar
Bette: so really I'd better scurry
James: beautiful, please don't hurry
Bette: well, maybe just a half a drink more
James: put some records on while I pour
Bette: you know the neighbors might think
James: but baby, it's bad out there
Bette: er, what's in this drink?
James: no cabs to be had out there
Bette: I wish I knew how
James: your eyes are like starlight now
Bette: to break this spell
James: I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
Bette: I ought to say no, no, no sir
James: mind if I move in closer?
Bette: at least I'm gonna say that I tried
James: what's the sense in hurtin' my pride?
Bette: I reall can't stay
James: baby, don't hold out
Bette: ah, but it's cold outside
James: baby, it's cold outside
Bette: ah, but it's cold outside
James and bette: baby, it's cold outside
