Now it's the day before Christmas : mama won't you hear me moan
If you take me back baby : I'll give you anything you need

I had a good chance : baby give me just one more
I will change the way I'm loving : like you never have been before

I know I did do wrong : I'm just as sorry as I can be
It's the day before Christmas : mama come back to me

Mama don't turn me down : on this Christmas Eve
I cried about you so hard : done wetted my whole coat sleeve

It's the day before Christmas : let me bring [me] your present tonight
I'm going to be your Santa Claus : even if my whiskers ain't white
