(Lyrics): Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me
[Chorus]
Santa, tell me if you're really there Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here next year Santa, tell me if he really cares 'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here next year
[Verse 1]
Feeling Christmas all around And I'm trying to play it cool But it's hard to focus when I see him walking 'cross the room "Let It Snow" is blasting out But I won't get in the mood I'm avoiding every mistletoe until I know it's
[Pre-Chorus]
True love that he thinks of So next Christmas I'm not all alone, boy
[Chorus]
Santa, tell me if you're really there Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here next year Santa, tell me if he really cares 'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here next year
[Verse 2]
I've been down this road before Fell in love on Christmas night But on New Year's Day, I woke up and he wasn't by my side Now I need someone to hold Be my fire in the cold But it's hard to tell if this is just a fling or if it's
[Pre-Chorus]
True love that he thinks of So next Christmas I'm not all alone, boy
[Chorus]
Santa, tell me if you're really there Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here next year Santa, tell me if he really cares 'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here next year
[Bridge]
Oh, I wanna have him beside me, like oh-woo-oh On the 25th, by that fireplace, oh-woo-oh But I don't want a new broken heart This year I've got to be smart Oh, baby
(Santa, tell me, Santa, tell me)
If he will be, if he will be here
(Santa, tell me, Santa, tell me)
Oh, woah
[Chorus]
Santa, tell me (Santa, tell me)
if you're really there ('Cause I really care)
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here next year Santa, tell me (Tell me)
if he really cares (Tell me, boy)
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here next year Santa, tell me (Tell me)
if you're really there (Santa, baby)
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here next year
(If he won't be, if he won't be here)
Santa, tell me (Tell me)
if he really cares (Do you care?)
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here next year
