Santa, Can't You Hear Me
歌詞:
[English]
Keep the snow and sleigh rides, keep those silver bells
Keep the gifts beneath the tree, give them to someone else
Keep that magic snowman, keep those twinkly lights
Keep the reindeer, my heart already knows how to fly
'Cause all I ever wanted
Was nothing I got, and...
Santa, can't you hear me?
Oh-oh (oh-oh) oh-oh (oh)
I don't need a thing
I sent a letter to you-ooh-ooh
On how to make my dreams come true, yeah-yeah
What I want for Christmas
Hasn't come and I feel so blue
Tell me, what can I do? Ooh-ooh, oh yeah
Keep the mistletoe (keep the mistletoe)
All that's below is what I need (what I need)
Santa, can't you hear me?
Keep those bows and boxes (keep them bows and them boxes)
Keep those three wise men
No need for a north star to show me where I will land
'Cause all I ever wanted
Isn't on a shelve, and...
Santa, can't you hear me?
Oh-oh (oh-oh), oh-oh (ooh, yeah), oh-oh (ooh-ooh), oh-oh
I don't need a thing
I sent a letter to you-ooh-ooh
On how to make my dreams come true, oh-oh
What I want for Christmas
Hasn't come and I feel so blue
Tell me, what can I do? Ooh-ooh, oh yeah
Keep the mistletoe (keep the mistletoe)
All that's below is what I need
Oh, Santa, can't you hear me? Yeah
'Cause all I ever wanted
Was nothing I got, and
Santa, can't you hear me? There is one thing that I need
Mmm-oh (oh), oh yeah (oh-oh), ooh, yeah (oh, oh)
Santa, yeah-yeah-yeah
I don't need a thing
I sent a letter to you-ooh-ooh (you-ooh-ooh)
On how to make my dreams come true, oh-oh
What I want for Christmas
Hasn't come and I feel so blue
Tell me, what can I do? Ooh-ooh, oh yeah
Keep the mistletoe
All that's below is what I need
Oh, Santa, can't you hear me?
