[Verse 1]
Of course, I don't want you to leave me here
For goodness sake, it's Christmas Day with me
The day that I decided to make you mine, all mine
You should've known I play the keeps

[Pre-Chorus]
And you work so hard, I've never been so proud
No one supports you more than me

[Chorus]
Oh, but now it's cold and you gotta go
No, you can't home right now, my dear
But I guess it's okay, I know you can't stay
Just promise me you'll be here to kiss me into the New Year

[Verse 2]
Your telephone is ringing on and on
No it won't feel like Christmas if you leave
And I know you hate when I ask you a thousand times
But baby, why can't you just stay with me?

[Pre-Chorus]
I always see you work so hard, I've never been so proud
I'll be the first to let you know
[Chorus]
Oh, but now it's cold and you gotta go
No, you can't home right now, my dear
But I guess it's okay, I know you can't stay
Just promise me you'll be here to kiss me into the New Year

[Post-Chorus]
(New Year)
New Year (New Year)
New Year, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Said I'll be waiting
You know I'm waiting
Said I'll be waiting, babe
Said I, said I'll be waiting, babe
You know I'll be waiting, babe
Said I'll be waiting, babe

[Outro]
'Cause now it's cold and you gotta go
No, you can't home right now, my dear
And I wish you could stay, but I guess it's okay
Just promise me you'll be here to kiss me into the New Year
