Santa clause please, please, please don't make me suffer so
But Santa Claus, you're my last hope
Christmas come but once a year
What I want please, was just to fool me and you
Don't make me suffer so
Couldn't know it was all gone
Please, don't make me suffer so
Please, please don't make me suffer so
I went to the welfare, but I waited little too long
Why, why, why, tell me, do I have to suffer so
It seems, seems that I waited a little too long
Can't take it no more
Please bring me some Christmas cheer
Oh Lord, do you hear me?
I find out when I once believed, just to fool me and you
No, no, give me your helpin' hand
Now Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Oh, won't somebody please, please
When I, when I, when I realized I ain't got nobody
I just can't I gotta help myself but, wait a minute
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Mama's been sick, oh, Lord, papa has too
And the little I had when I started
I went to the welfare but I wanted a little, a little, a little, a little help
I need a Christmas cheer
When I was there, do you believe?
And my brothers too
Mama has been sick, God help her, papa has too
Lord, I've been good, oh, so good I know
I found out it all got over, I ain't got nobody
Please, Lord have mercy
