Dear Santa, I know I don't deserve it
But if you would just hear me out
I know you'll understand
January wasn't good for me
And February wasn't right
March I started messin' up again
And in April I gave up the fight
I admit I don't deserve what I'm beggin' you today
So I'll confess what I've done wrong, just listen to what I say
I've been a bad, bad boy for Christmas
Ain't had a year that's worse than this was
And I'm writing this letter now cuz
Santa won't you help me please, cuz my baby's gone from me
Cuz she left when snow came fallin'
So to you I've come a-callin'
And the tears that I've been bawlin'
They won't bring my baby here, Santa please I need a miracle
Bad boy, bad boy, bad boy - Been so bad yeah
I've been so bad
Bad boy, bad boy, bad boy, Bad, bad, bad, yeah
Summer came along and tempted me
And I couldn't help but lose my way
Barely I survived close calls this fall
Cuz I had to just stop and play – oh no, no
Now it's winter and I'm alone and regret that we're apart
Christmas doesn't mean much anymore – How could I just break her heart?
I've been a bad, bad boy for Christmas
But can it hurt much more than this does
And I'm singing this song to you cuz
And you might think this is strange, but my heart has really changed
And I don't know where she's hidin'
But I know that she's been cryin'
So when your big sleigh comes a-flyin'
Though I'm naughty and not nice, I don't wanna pay the price this year
If you grant my wish, I promise you
Every day of this new year I will, I will be true
I won't make mistakes no more, and for this I make my vow
Leave my baby under my Christmas tree
Come on Santa – now
I've been a bad, bad boy for Christmas
Ain't had a year that's worse than this was
And I'm writing this letter now cuz
Santa won't you help me please, cuz my baby's gone from me
Cuz she left when the snow came fallin'
So to you I've come a-callin'
And the tears that I've been bawlin'
They won't bring my baby here, Santa please I need her near
Been a bad, bad boy for Christmas
But can it hurt much more than this does
And I'm singing this song to you cuz
And a guy like me can't wait, so please Santa don't be late
And I don't know where she's hidin'
But I know that she's been cryin'
I've messed up but I've been tryin'
It's so lonely don't you know, underneath the mistletoe this year
I've been a bad, bad boyÂ…
