It's not rapey.
It's a view into the rituals of courtship that defined dating of the time. They both want each other, but society says she should go.
They are both literally exploring reasons for her not to go.
I just read the original lyrics and after the first lines, you're right. I stand corrected. She's being coy and really wants to stay.

There's no way this is real, right?

That was cringeworthy. They literally wrote a song about having a bland PC conversation. Awesome, Christmas classic.
Doesn't even sound like a PC conversation, sounds more like the dude is being nice but trying to get rid of an ugly or big girl.
She is giving reasons why she needs to leave and he's like bye bitch.This post was edited on 12/7/16 at 10:19 am

A couple from Minnesota has re-imagined the classic Christmas song "Baby It's Cold Outside" for a 21st-century audience, changing the song's lyrics to emphasize the importance of consent.
Singer-songwriters Lydia Liza and Josiah Lemanski, both from Minneapolis, said they were inspired to rework the song after bonding over a mutual dislike of the original's lyrics, which were penned in 1944 by Frank Loesser. The duet features a man trying to dissuade a woman from leaving a party despite her repeated protestations that she has to go home. "What's in this drink?" is one of the female lines. "What's the sense in hurtin' my pride?" implores the male voice.
The song's seeming disregard for the woman's desire to leave never sat well with Lemanski or Liza.
"I've always had a big problem with the song. It's so aggressive and inappropriate," said Lemanski, 25.
Liza, 22, said she felt the same way as her boyfriend.

Literally hundreds of hip hop/rap songs that are much, much worse, and these fricknuts go after "Baby It's Cold Outside?" written in the 1940s?
Oh ya....that's because it was written by a white male. Nevermind.

"We started thinking of the open-ended questions that song has," she said. "You never figure out if she gets to go home. You never figure out if there was something in her drink. It just leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth." So Wednesday night, the couple decided to write a complete set of new lyrics. "We wrote the whole thing in an hour and then we went back and used my little demo-recording microphone and did that in 15 minutes," Liza recalled.

Very rapey song. So is tons of rap music these days, no sjw's rallying on that though?
The new lyrics are stupid. The original is a really rapey song though.

It's really not rapey. It's more desperate. He even says "mind if I move in closer". Only other rapey line is "say what's in this drink" but that's really pre-roofie, so it was probably intended as an actual question to the ingredients in the drink.
Other side is a girl that is trying to convince herself she doesn't want to stay. It's not like he's got her chained up.

No. It's serious. And that's what makes it funnier.

People are so stupid. That's is not at all what the song is about.
