Christmas Won't Be The Same This Year

Merry Christmas everybody

Yeah, Merry

Christmas everybody, big deal

Hey man, what's wrong with you

Jermaine?Yeah, that's not kind of attitude

This only happens once a year

Hey, fellas, don't bug in

He and his girl just broke up, so get off his back

Can't you see there's tears in his eyes?

Yeah, he's cryin'

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

Christmas won't be the same this year

Without her loving arms holding you so near

Christmas won't be the same this year(No, it won't, now, darlin', no, no)

Without her loving arms holding you so near

I see the lights

But they don't shine for me

I see the presents

Underneath the

Christmas tree

Our house is decorated

My friends are celebrating

Christmas won't be the same this year(No, no)

Without her loving arms holding you so near(It won't be the same this year)

Christmas won't be the same this year(The things we used to do)

Without her loving arms holding you so near(Now darling, it's all over)

The neighborhood kids

Are having so much fun

Counting off the days'

Til Santa

Claus comes

And I see the mistletoe

Hanging from my door

I wish I could kiss you again

Like I did before

Christmas won't be the same this year(No, no)

Without her loving arms holding you so near(Yeah, yeah)

So go on, girl

And have your fun

Don't spoil your time

Thinking about me

This time next year

My darling dear

HopefullyYou'll be having dinner with me

Christmas won't be the same this year(No, no)

Without her loving arms holding you so near(No, no, it won't be the same)

Christmas won't be the same this year(Without you, my darling)

Without her loving arms holding you so near(No, no, no, no, it won't be, it won't be the same)

Christmas won't be the same this year
