"Christmas Ain't Christmas"
Philadelphia International Records (1973)
Christmas just ain't Christmas without the one you love
New Year's just ain't New Year's without the one you love
Underneath the mistletoe, I saw a face all a glow
Last year, this time
Now I stand all alone and my house is not a home
Without that girl of mine. Oh
Christmas just ain't Christmas without the one you love
And New Year's just ain't New Year's without the one you love
12 o'clock and all is well and I was doing oh so swell
Last year, this time
Going shopping for presents together and making vows to leave each other--never
It was a waste of time. Oh
Christmas just ain't Christmas without the one you love. Oh, oh, oh
New Year's just ain't New Year's without the one you love
Oh, oh
Christmas just ain't Christmas without the one you love. Oh
And New Year's is just another lonely night without the one you love and ohhhh no
(Christmas just ain't Christmas) No, no
(Without the one you love.) I'm gonna be lonely
I'm gonna be lonely
(New Year's just ain't New Year's) Oh, oh
(Without the one you love.) 'Cause I said I need your loving. Need
Christmas just ain't Christmas without the one you love
