My baby she told me 
She don't want to hold me (oh, no!) 
And kiss my lips anymore (unh-unh!) 
She's gonna leave me 
And she don't believe me 
That I'll be true now 
 
Well maybe she don't love me 
And is not thinkin' of me 
But why'd she do it this time of year? 
She knows that I'll miss her 
And I'll want to kiss her 
If just for Christmas 
 
Merry Christmas, baby 
Merry Christmas, baby 
Merry Christmas, baby 
 
Tell me, what did I do 
To really convince you 
That I'm not the guy anymore? 
Take back my ring now 
I'll do anything now 
But please forgive me 
 
I made my mistake but 
I'm willing to wake up 
And never mess around anymore 
Oh why did we break up? 
There's still time to make up 
If just for Christmas 
 
Merry Christmas, baby 
Merry Christmas, baby 
Merry Christmas, baby 
 
I made my mistake but 
I'm willing to wake up 
And never mess around anymore 
Oh why did we break up? 
There's still time to make up 
If just for Christmas 
 
Merry Christmas, baby 
Merry Christmas, baby 
Merry Christmas, baby 
Merry Christmas, baby
