Take Me Home For Christmas
Dan + Shay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, when December comes
When it's gettin' cold outside
And your bags are packed
I don't wanna say goodbye
When I see the trees light up
When they hang the mistletoe
And I'm by the fire
I don't wanna be alone

Baby, won't you take me home for Christmas
Show me 'round your town
Take me where you used to watch the snow come down
All of your traditions
I wanna know 'em all
You'll check every box off of my list
If you take me home for Christmas
(Take me home) yeah
Take me home
Take me home

I wanna spend the night before
Drinkin' with your high school friends
'Round the neighborhood
We can do a little caroling
Watchin' Santa fly
'Cross a Christmas moon
Don't need gifts this year
If I got you

Baby, won't you take me home for Christmas
Show me 'round your town
Take me where you used to watch the snow come down
All of your traditions
I wanna know 'em all
You'll check every box off of my list
If you take me home for Christmas

Wanna be by your side
When you open your eyes
And say, "Baby, it's Christmas"
Yes, I do
Ooh

Baby, won't you take me home for Christmas
Show me 'round your town
Take me where you used to watch the snow come down (snow come down)
All of your traditions (la-la-la-la-la)
I wanna know 'em all (every single one of 'em)
You'll check every box off of my list
If you take me home for Christmas (home for Christmas)

(Take me home) oh, yeah, babe
(Take me home) take me home
(Take me home) hey

Dum-da, dum-da, dum-da, dum-da
(Take me home) dum-da, dum-da, dum-da, dum-da
(Take me home) da-da
(Take me home)
Oh
Ah (take me home)
(Take me home) da-da-da-da, na, na, yeah
(Take me home)
Yeah, you know it, baby
(Take me home) ooh
(Take me home) oh




(Take me home)
Oh, won't you take me home for Christmas?
