I really can't stay (Baby it's cold outside)
Dm7        G7              Dm7       G7 
I gotta go away (Baby it's cold outside)
     C           Cm7                    Am7
This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd drop in)
        Gm7                  C7
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)
     D7                        G7

    C               Cm7              Am7     Db   
The neighbors might think (Baby it's bad out there)
    Dm7            G7                    Dm7     G7
Say what's in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there)
  C           Cm7                      Am7
I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now)
              Gm7                   C7
To break this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
  F            Dm      F               Dm
I ought to say no, no, no sir (Mind if move in closer?)
   D7                         G7
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?)

I really can't stay (Baby don't hold out)
A7          D7   G7  C
Oh but it's cold outside

I simply must go (Baby it's cold outside)
    Dm7       G7                Dm7      G7
The answer is no (But baby it's cold outside)
    C           Cm7                  Am7
The welcome has been (How lucky that you dropped in)
            Gm7                C7
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!)
     Dm7                        G7
Well maybe just one little kiss more (Never such a blizzard before)
     C          Cm7               Am7        Db   
I've got to get home (Baby you'll freeze out there)
    Dm7       G7                     Dm7       G7
Say lend me a coat? (It's up to your knees out there!)
       C           Cm7                   Am7
You've really been grand, (I feel when I touch your hand)
              Gm7               C7
But don't you see? (How can you do this thing to me?)
        F           Dm     F                   Dm
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my life long sorrow!)
   D7                         G7
At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died!)
  C            Cm7                 Am7
I really can't stay (Get over that old out)
