The cold wind is blowin' and the streets are getting dark
I'm writing you a letter and I don't know where to start
The bells will be ringing Saint John the Divine
I get a little lonely every year around this time

The music plays all night in Little Italy
The lights will be going up on old Rockefella's tree
People window shopping on Fifth Avenue
All I want for Christmas is you

I've got to know (Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas)
Where do lonely hearts go (Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas)
Because nobody ought to be lost alone on Christmas

Things are different since you've been here last
Childhood dreaming is a thing of the past
Maybe you can bring us some hope this year
Visions of sugar plums have disappeared

Do you remember sleigh riding in the snow
And dancing all night to "Baby, [bad word] Home"
Today's celebration is bittersweet
There's mothers and children in the street

I've got to know (Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas)
Where do lonely hearts go (Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas)
Because nobody ought to be lost alone on Christmas

I'm all grown up but I'm the same you'll see
I'm writing this letter 'cause I still believe
Dear Santa I've been good this year
Can't you stay a little while with me right here

Ohhhhhh ohhh I've Got to know

[solo]

I've got to know
Where do lonely hearts go

I've got to know (Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas)
Where do lonely hearts go (Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas)
Because nobody ought to be lost alone on Christmas
Ohhhhh

Nobody ought to be lost alone on Christmas
Whoaaa
Nobody ought to be
Alone on Christmas

Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas
Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas
Yeah, Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas
Don't leave me alone
Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas
Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas
Where do lonely hearts go, yeaah

Nobody ought to be all alone on Christmas [4x]
Nobody ought to be lost alone on Christmas
