(Chorus) Christmas just ain't christmas Without the one you love New Years just ain't new years With the one you love [Taj] Underneath the missletoe I saw his face all aglow Last year this time Now I stand all alone And my house is not a home Without that man of mine (Chorus) (Taj) Twelve O' clock and all is well And I was doing O' so swell Last year this time Going shopping for presents together Making vows to leave each other-never It was a waiste of time (Chorus) [Taj] Oh, and now I stand all alone And my house is not home Without that man of mine, OOOOH (Chorus)

I ain't putting up Christmas lights 'cause they'll never come down It's not that I'm lazy, I just used to put them up with my baby And I said that I don't got the energy, spirit just ain't in me 'Cause you're not around, just another day to me Reminiscin' on the day when it was mistletoe Carried with me so So I had an excuse To kiss you everywhere we go And we'd decorate the tree I look at you, you look at me Then I grab them hips And you let me unwrap that gift early, baby But, then I wake up from this daydream to reality, real (By myself, I'm all by myself now) I'm lonely and I know this time of year This ain't how I'm supposed to feel (Forgive me if I'm bringin' you down) But it just don't feel like Christmas No, not like Christmas Now that you're gone away And it just don't feel like Christmas No, not like Christmas Now that you're gone away, babe And it just don't feel like Christmas Ohh, not like Christmas Now that you're gone away And it just don't feel like Christmas do Baby, not like Christmas Now that you're gone away Oh, oh, oh, oh Baby you didn't have to leave on Christmas Eve Sure fire way to kill a holiday for anybody Now when I hear "Jingle Bells" all I hear is you screaming "Go to Hell" That's the song that was playing when you left I'm just saying everyday I wake up from a daydream to reality, real (By myself, I'm all by myself now) Ooh, I'm lonely and I know this time of year This ain't how I'm supposed to feel (Forgive me if I'm bringin' you down) But it just don't feel like Christmas No, not like Christmas Now that you're gone away And it just don't feel like Christmas No, not like Christmas (no, no) Now that you're gone away, babe And it just don't feel like Christmas Ohh, not like Christmas Now that you're gone away And it just don't feel like Christmas do Baby, not like Christmas Now that you're gone away Said it just ain't Christmas Said it just ain't Christmas

I bought you a present but you'll never get it 'Cause me and you said our goodbyes this December Oh-no So I went to the furnace thought maybe I'd burn it But hard as I try I can't even return it Oh-no The most wonderful time of the year Is breakin' my heart So tell me, this Christmas, who'll keep you warm? Who'll put your presents down on the floor? Under the tree that you bought with me And watch all those movies that we both have seen Hundreds of times, we know every line But it's not about that, it's about the time Together on Christmas So this Christmas ain't Christmas at all I made cookies for Nicky like you used to do But I got so damn sad that I ate one or two or them all So please turn off Mariah, I'm not in the mood 'Cause all I want for Christmas wants nothin' to do with me now Oh, the most wonderful time of the year Is breakin' my heart So tell me, this Christmas, who'll keep you warm? Who'll put your presents down on the floor? Under the tree that you bought with me And watch all those movies that we both have seen Hundreds of times, we know every line But it's not about that, it's about the time Together on Christmas So this Christmas ain't Christmas at all Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh) Together on Christmas So this Christmas Ain't Christmas at all

Can you hear me when I pray for you Never knew tears could make an ocean blue Fear of forever is a door that I don't want closed, closed Pictures and pictures of the smile I remember This just can't all be true I hope he makes the biggest mistake The unforgivable that makes your heart break I hope you tell him "sorry is just not enough" And it goes from good to bad, so I can have you back So many memories tells how long it's been And I accept the blame as to why you're with him He wouldn't approve of us just being friends Please, that's all I need Out of respect I back away for a while Promise to keep me in mind I hope he makes the biggest mistake The unforgivable that makes your heart break I hope you tell him "sorry is just not enough" And it goes from good to bad, so I can have you back There is nobody like you (So I can have you back) Without you, I don't know what to do The love you gave to to me I'm using it to breathe I know you think I'm wrong But it keeps me holding on, to you Keeps me holding on, to you The love you gave to to me I'm using it to breathe I know you think I'm wrong But it keeps me holding on, to you Keeps me holding on, to you I hope he makes the biggest mistake The unforgivable that makes your heart break I hope you tell him "sorry is just not enough" And it goes from good to bad, so I can have you back
