Oh yeah, yeah Last night I took a walk in the snow Couples holding hands, places to go Seems like everyone but me is in love Santa can you hear me I signed my letter that's sealed with a kiss I sent it off, and just said this I know exactly what I want this year Santa can you hear me I want my baby, baby I want someone to love me someone to hold Maybe, maybe (maybe, maybe) I'll be on my own and a big red bow Santa can you hear me? I have been so good this year And all I want is one thing Tell me my true love is near He's all I want, just for me Underneath my Christmas tree I'll be waiting here Santa that's my only wish this year Christmas Eve, I just Can'tsleep Would I be wrong, for taking a peek? 'Cause I heard that you´re comin' to town Santa can you hear me I really hope that you´re on your way With something special for me in your sleigh Oh please make my wish come true Santa can you hear me I want my baby, baby I want someone to love me someone to hold Maybe, maybe (maybe, maybe) We'll be all alone under the mistletoe Santa can you hear me? I have been so good this year And all I want is one thing Tell me my true love is near He's all I want, just for me Underneath my Christmas tree I'll be waiting here Santa that's my only wish this year I hope my letter reaches you in time Bring me a love, I can call all mine 'Cause I have been so good this year Can't be alone, under the mistletoe He's all I want and a big red bow Santa can you hear me? I have been so good this year And all I want is one thing Tell me my true love is here He's all I want, just for me Underneath my Christmas tree I'll be waiting here Santa that's my only wish this year (Oh Santa, can you hear me? oh Santa) He's all I want, just for me Underneath my Christmas tree I'll be waiting here Santa that's my only wish this year Santa that's my only wish this year
