    Eb         Ebmaj7        Eb
I really can't stay
                    baby it's cold outside
     Fm
I've got to go away
                    but I can call you a ride
     Eb         Ebmaj7        Eb
The evening has been
                   I'm so glad that you dropped in
        Bbm7                 Eb
So very nice
             time spent with you is paradise
 
 
[Chorus]
   Ab
My mom will start worry
                    I'll call the car and tell him to hurry
     Abm
And daddy will be pacing the floor
                              wait, what are you still livin' home for?
    Eb
So really i'd better scurry
                            your driver his name is Murray
     Fm                       Bb
But maybe just a half a drink more
                              oh we're both adults so who's keepin' score
 
 
[Verse 2]
    Eb               Ebmaj7   Eb
What will my friends think?
                           I think they should rejoice
      Fm
If I have one more drink?
                          it's your body and your choice
   Eb          Ebmaj7            Eb
Ooh you really know how
                        your eyes are like starlight now
             Bbm7               Eb
To cast a spell
                One look at you and then I fell
 
 
[Chorus]
   Ab
I ought to say, "No, no, no sir"
                            then you really ought to go, go, go
   Abm
At least i'm gonna say that i tried
                              well Murray he just pulled up outside
    Eb         Db7  C7
I really can't stay
               I understand baby
           F7   Bb Eb
Baby, it's cold outside
 
Baby, it's cold outside
 
 
[Verse 3]
  Eb            Ebmaj7          Eb
I simply should go
                   text me when you get home
    Fm
Oh I'm supposed to say no
                       mm I guess that's respectable
  Eb            Ebmaj7          Eb
This welcome has been
               I'm lucky that you dropped in
            Bbm7             Eb
So nice and warm
                but you better go before it storms
 
 
[Chorus]
   Ab
My sister will be suspicious
                        well gosh your lips look delicious
   Abm
My brother will be there at the door
                               oh he loves my music baby I'm sure
   Eb
My gossipy neighbor's vicious
                        I'm a genie tell me what your wish is
     Fm                        Bb
But maybe just a cigarette more
                      oh that's somethin' we should probably explore
 
 
[Verse 4]
     Eb         Ebmaj7           Eb
I've got to get home
                  oh, baby, I'm well aware
      Fm
Say, lend me your coat
                    oh keep it girl I don't care
       Eb          Ebmaj7         Eb
You've really been grand
                       I feel when you touch my hand
          Bbm7              Eb
Don't you see?
              I want you to stay, it's not up to me
 
[Chorus]
        Ab
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
                        well they can talk, what do they know
   Abm
At least there will be plenty implied
                               oh let their mind do this and go
           Eb                               Db7  C7
                                Murray just go!
