You let flowers say, "I love you"

You let diamonds hold my hand

So this Christmas, I'm making new plans

(Merry Christmas, baby)

You send gifts that someone else picks

You send cards with empty promises

But you don't need to worry 'bout me again

(Merry Christmas, baby)

You'll wake up all alone and

Wonder why I'm not home

And I'll let my phone ring

A dose of your kind of love and

I'll let my absence show you

What I got you for Christmas

Is losing me

Merry Christmas, baby

You can have just what you gave me

You can keep the charming lines

And you can keep your wandering hands

And eyes

(Merry Christmas, baby)

You'll wake up all alone and

Wonder why I'm not home

And I'll let my phone ring (I'll let it ring)

A dose of your kind of love and

I'll let my absence show you

What I got you for Christmas

Is losing me

Merry Christmas, baby

So have yourself a merry Christmas

Hope it's not as cold as you (Cold as you)

Merry Christmas, baby (Merry Christmas)

Merry Christmas, baby (Merry Christmas)

Merry Christmas, baby

To you
