(Ay, where you going)
I gotta go
(You haven't even finish this drink)
I really can't stay
(But baby it's cold outside)
I've got to go away
(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 hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more
(Put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think
(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)
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 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, oh, oh, oh
(Come on, give me chance)
I simply must go
(Baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no
(Oh darling, it's cold outside)
This welcome has been
(How lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm
(Look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious
(Man, your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door
(Waves upon a tropical storm)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
(Gosh, your lips are so delicious)
Well, maybe just half a drink more
(Never such a blizzard before)
I've got to go home
(But, baby, you'll freeze out there)
Say, will you lend me your coat
(It's up to your knees out there)
You know 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 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)
Oh, but it's cold outside
(You better get back over here)
Now, you don't give up, do you?
I gotta go home
(Then why you go home then, it's fine)
Fine, I'm leaving
(Good, kill the environment and burn this wish)
Oh oh I ought to say no, no, no sir
(Mind if I move 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
Oh, but it's cold outside
Dah de dah du da, I got to go home
(It's no time of night to be leaving anyways)
I gotta go
(Give me one more hour)
I don't trust you
(It's for your own good, Colbie)
I am having a really good time
