Santa Can’t You Hear Me Lyrics by Kelly Clarkson
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 been so blue, ooh
Tell me what can I do? Ooh, ooh, oh yeah
Keep the mistletoe (Keep the mistletoe)
Unless 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 end
‘Cause all I ever wanted
Isn’t on a shelf and
Santa, can’t you hear me?
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh (Ooh yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh)
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 been so blue, ooh
Tell me what can I do? Ooh, ooh, oh yeah
Keep the mistletoe (Keep the mistletoe)
Unless below, is what I need (What I need)
Santa, can’t you hear me?
‘Cause all I ever wanted
Was nothing I got and
Santa, can’t you hear me?
There’s one thing that I need
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
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, yeah, yeah
What I want for Christmas
Hasn’t come and I been so blue, ooh
Tell me what can I do? Ooh, ooh, oh yeah
Keep the mistletoe
Unless below, is what I need
Santa, can’t you hear me?
