Santa Tell Me – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again
If he won't be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away
If he won't be here next year
Feeling Christmas all around
And I'm trying to play it cool
But it's hard to focus
When I see him walking 'cross the room
"Let It Snow" is blasting out
But I won't get in the mood
I'm avoiding every mistletoe until I know...
It's true love that he thinks of
So next Christmas I'm not all alone, boy
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again
If he won't be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away
If he won't be here next year
I've been down this road before
Fell in love on Christmas night
But on New Year's Day, I woke up and
He wasn't by my side
Now I need someone to hold
Be my fire in the cold
But it's hard to tell
If this is just a fling or if it's...
True love that he thinks of
So next Christmas I'm not all alone, boy
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again
If he won't be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away
If he won't be here next year
Oh, I wanna have him beside me like, oh, woo, ooh
On the 25th by that fireplace, oh, whoa
But I don't want a new broken heart
This year I've got to be smart
Oh, baby (Santa, tell me, Santa, tell me)
If he won't be, if he won't be here (Santa, tell me)
(Santa, tell me)
Santa, tell me if you're really there (Santa, tell me)
Don't make me fall in love again ('cause I'm waitin' here)
If he won't be here next year (he won't be here next year)
Santa, tell me if he really cares (tell me)
'Cause I can't give it all away (tell me, 'cause)
If he won't be here next year (he won't be here next year)
Santa, tell me if you're really there (tell me)
Don't make me fall in love again (tell me, baby)
If he won't be here next year (If he won't be, if he won't be here)
Santa, tell me (tell me) if he really cares (do you care?)
'Cause I can't give it all away
If he won't be here next year
