Lyrics[]
It's been a year anticipated
I'm under the covers
Don't leave me waiting
It will be a cried out Christmas without you
You're in the East End
And I'm here in Chelsea
The minute you get here
Is the minute you melt me
I don't want a cried out Christmas without you
Tomorrow's a special day
Tell me you're on your way
Ciity's coverd in lights
But 'til you're here tonight I'll be blue
I want you kissing me
While it's still Christmas Eve
We must know
You know what you gotta do
Get in a cab, I just take the blue light
It's only twelve stops, just get it by
Don't let it be a cried out Christmas without you
I don't want Christmas without you
Tomorrow's a special day
Tell me you're on your way
City's covered in lights
But 'til you're here tonight I'll be blue
I want you kissing me
While it's still Christmas Eve
We must know
You know what you gotta do
Come home to me (Come home)
Make it romantic (Oh, yeah)
Without cookies for Santa
Just how we planned it
It will be a cried out Christmas without you
I don't want a cried out Christmas without you
