You know, girls, I want to tell you somethin' right now
Somethin' that is very near, and dear to my heart
It's Christmas night, and of course, those memories keep flowin' back
Remindin' me of that very, very, very special Christmas night, I spent with him
But you know, girls
Sometimes things don't go the way we always want them to go
And that's what happened to my little Christmas fantasy
I'll never forget that day, I'll never forget that night
It was December 25th, two years ago tonight
I was a fool, I couldn't believe that such a good-lookin' man could love me
Oh, yes, I made that mistake, oh, but I'll never make it again
Girls, don't be a fool like me (don't be a fool) oh, yes, I've played that game
But tonight, I'm a livin' witness (ooh) love is a Christmas night
Well, I was a fool, until this afternoon, when I was standin' in the subway
And I heard a voice, a voice that was, oh, so familiar
Huh-huh, you know how I felt, you know what I thought
Well, listen to what I do
He said, "Hello, baby" oh, honey
I could feel my bones just creakin'
Like an old wooden house down south in Arkansas
Yes, honey, I turned around (turned around) and there he was, lookin' good
Girls, I had to control myself, I didn't want to blow my cover
I didn't want to blow my cool
I looked him dead in the eye, and I said, "Hello, baby" (hello, baby)
Oh, I didn't want to rush it
He took me in his arms, and he kissed me
He gave me the kiss that I had been yearnin' for
For oh, oh, oh, so long
Ladies, I could have melted right there
24th Street in Broad
I took him in my hand, and I led him up to my part
Oh, it's a cold water flat, but it was warm that Christmas night
I offered him a drink, I was havin' champagne, pink champagne
That was our dream
Ladies, that night I felt like a real woman
I felt like a real woman ought to be feelin'
Well, I felt like a woman, I think a woman should be feelin', if I was a woman
Feelin' these feelings for a man
But I digress, and I want to tell you this story because, it gets better
I looked him in his eyes and I said
Baby, you reek of the kind of love I've been achin' for
Oh, my body yearned for the touch of a black man
Well, that night we made love
Like we never made love before
Inside him, he was inside of me
He could have told me anythin'
And I would have believed him
Then all of a sudden, there was a knock at the door
I said, oh, baby, oh, my God, my husband is home"
Well, that night, I truly found the meaning of Christmas (I found it, found it, found it)
That Christmas night, as he held me in his arms
As he lied dead on the floor (he held me tight, he held tight, ooh, ooh)
Oh, she's going to speak in tongues tonight
Because I love my man, and I miss my man
On this ol' Christmas night, like that old Christmas night
We had our love baby
Christmas night, Christmas night
Oh, I miss my baby, my baby
I miss my man
On Christmas nite, yeah
My husband, well, they sent him to prison
Oh, and me, hm, well (that's all right, Chad)
And I'm going to tell you, all you skeezers out there
Don't mess with men, don't mess with men because men are dogs
That's why tonight, I'm sleepin' with another woman
Oh, yes, honey, christmas comes but once a year
But every night of the year
You've got to be shacked up with someone who loves you for who you are
Because the sisters are doing it for themselves
Oh, Christmas nite
Oh, I miss my baby, my baby, my baby (I miss him)
I miss my man (on Christmas night)
Oh, Christmas night
Now, Michelle, how does the story go?
It was, t'was the night before Christmas
And all through the house, not a creature was stirrin'
Not even a mouse, you know, that's where I get caught up
Because I can't remember the other parts
Actually, here, let me get the book
Actually, let me do it to music
Because that way I think I can get it
Thank you (okay)
