"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
No, no, it won't be the same this year
The things we used to do
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
So go on, girl
And have your fun
Don't spoil your time
Thinking about me
This time next year, my darling dear
Hopefully, you'll be having dinner with me
No, no, it won't be the same without you, my darling
