[Pre-Chorus]
It's been a long, long time since you said that you were mine
The best time to say is at Christmastime

[Chorus]
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
I love you (I, I love you)

[Verse 2]
All the world knows what I need to see
The day when everything is jolly and gay

[Chorus]
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
I love you (I, I love you)

[Verse 3]
I've been away for a long, long time
Since I heard you say that you were mine
Can't you see I love you so and I wanna treat you so right?
Can't you see I really need you to keep everything tight?

[Pre-Chorus]
It's been a long, long time since I said that you were mine
I like to say it, baby, at Christmastime
[Chorus]
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
I love you (I, I love you)

[Bridge]
Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away, baby
Don't go away
Got something, something I gotta say

[Verse 4]
It's been a long— I've been away a long, long time
Since I heard you say that you were mine
Can't you see, baby, I wanna love you so and treat you so right?
Can't you see I really need you and keep everything tight?

[Pre-Chorus]
It's been a long long, time since you said that you were mine
But, baby, I like to say it at Christmastime

[Chorus]
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
I love you (I, I love you)
[Outro]
Stop it
Stop it
Stop it
Stop it
Stop it, baby
Stop it
Stop it, baby
Stop it
