I'm really very happy with the love I found
A faking act of passion on the killing grounds
But I'd rather be next to you
It's the only thing left to do

Motivated liquidated nightmare
Like a baby with a laser on a rocking chair
But I'd rather be next to you
So understand my point of view

Who knows the secret of life
Who knows the score

Black December
Black December
Homegrown Black December

Trapped within a circle of my own creed
I'm sitting dreaming tending to my own needs
But I'd rather be next to you
It's the only thing left to do

Half a day it's over and I lie there
Recall the drama happiness I've been there
But I'd rather be next to you
So understand my point of view

Who knows the secret of life
Who knows the score

Black December
(Little darling)
Black December
Homegrown Black December

Rather be next to you
Rather be next to you
Rather be next to you

Black December
(Little darling)
Black December
Homegrown Black December
Black December
(Feel it all alone)
Black December
Homegrown Black December
Black December
(Little darling)
Black December
Homegrown feel it all alone
