"I added a criticism section, since a group of my colleagues and I had a conversation about it, and reached a consensus that I record in the edit." Here is the new "criticism section" they added:
"On December 14, 2010, a group of educators in a youth development program at a major science center in the United States reached a consensus that the song's typical light and frilly performance does not fit its frighteningly realistic lyrical account of a man using alcohol to sexually exploit a woman.<5>"Today, the "criticism section" was removed by someone who left this comment:
"I removed the criticism section, because it was added by the people criticizing the piece, which is against the Wikipedia code of ethics and was not a large enough criticism to merit mention."I love Wikipedia. :rofl:
Anyone wanna have a flamewar about this song?

I really can't stay - 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 music 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 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
Ahh, but it's cold outside
C'mon baby
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh darling, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm 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 shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - I thrill 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
Ahh, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
Brr its cold.
It's cold out there
Cant you stay awhile longer baby
Well..I really shouldn't...alright
Make it worth your while baby
Ahh, do that again.
