  • Oh, yeah, 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 I sealed with a kiss
    I sent it off, it just said this
    "I know exactly what I want this year"
    Santa, can you hear me?

    I want my baby, baby (ooh)
    I want someone to love me
    Someone to hold
    Maybe, maybe (maybe, maybe)
    He'll be all my own in 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

    Ooh, yeah
    Yeah, yeah

    Christmas Eve, I just can't sleep
    Would I be wrong for taking a peek?
    'Cause I heard that you're comin' to town
    Santa, can you hear me? (Yeah)
    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 (ooh)
    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 (ooh)
    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 (oh, yeah)
    Bring me a love I can call all mine (oh, yeah, yeah)
    'Cause I have been so good, so good this year (oh)
    Can't be alone under mistletoe
    He's all I want in a big red bow

    Santa, can you hear me?
    I have been so good this year
    And all I want is one thing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Tell me my true love is near
    He's all I want, just for me
    Underneath my Christmas tree
    I'll be waiting here (oh, yeah)
    Santa, that's my only wish this year

    (Ahh) oh, Santa
    (Ahh)
    Can you hear (ahh) me? Oh
    Oh, Santa (ahh)

    Well, he's all I want, just for me
    Underneath my Christmas tree
    I'll be waiting here (oh, yeah)
    Santa, that's my only wish this year
