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 (ooh, babe)
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 (yeah-yeah)
But it's hard to tell if this is just a fling or if it's
True love that he thinks of (so)
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, ooh-ooh
On the 25th, by that fireplace, oh, ooh, 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, boy)
Oh, whoa
Santa, tell me (Santa, tell me) if you're really there ('cause I really care)
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here next year
Santa, tell me (tell me) if he really cares (tell me, boy)
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here next year
Santa, tell me (tell me) if you're really there (tell me, baby)
Don't make me fall in love again 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
