[Bette:] I really can't stay
  [James:] But baby, it's cold outside.
  [B:] I got to go 'way.
  [J:] But baby, it's cold outside.
  [B:] This evening has been
  [J:] Been hopin' that you'd drop in.
  [B:] so very nice.
  [J:] I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice.
  [B:] My mother will start to worry.
  [J:] Beautiful, what's your hurry?
  [B:] My father will be pacing the floor.
  [J:] Listen to that fireplace roar.
  [B:] So really I'd better scurry.
  [J:] Beautiful, please don't hurry.
  [B:] Well, maybe just a half a drink more.
  [J:] Put some records on while I pour.
  [B:] You know the neighbors might think.
  [J:] But baby, it's bad out there.
  [B:] Er, what's in this drink?
  [J:] No cabs to be had out there.
  [B:] I wish I knew how
  [J:] Your eyes are like starlight now.
  [B:] to break this spell.
  [J:] I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell.
  [B:] I ought to say no, no, no sir.
  [J:] Mind if I move in closer?
  [B:] At least I'm gonna say that I tried.
  [J:] What's the sense in hurtin' my pride?
  [B:] I really can't stay,
  [J:] Baby, don't hold out.
  [B:] ah, but it's cold outside.
  [J:] Baby, it's cold outside.
  [B:] Ah, but it's cold outside.
  [J:] Baby, it's cold outside.
