I'm really very happy with the love I've found
A faking act of passion on the killing ground
But I'd rather be next to you
It's the only thing left to do

A motivated liquidated nightmare
Like a baby with a laser on a rocking chair
But I'd rather be next to you
So Understand my point of view

Who knows the secret of life
Who knows the score
Black December, little darling

Trapped within a circle of my own creed
I'm sitting dreaming tending to my own needs
But I'd rather be next to you
It's the only thing left to do

In half a day it's over and I lie there
Recall the drama, happiness I've been there
But I'd rather be next to you
So understand my point of view

Who knows the secret of life
Who knows the score
Black December
Rather be next to you
Black December
