Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My gift to you will be me
So far away, it's been too long
Seems like a billion days since I've been gone
All my thoughts and prayers askin' of you
Well, guess what baby, I've got some good news
I took some time off
I'm comin' home for Christmas
I'm comin' home for Christmas (baby, baby)
I'm comin' home for Christmas (be ready, be ready now)
I'm comin' home for Christmas and I'll be bearin' the gift of love
Oh workin' baby, day and night
I hardly ever get to spend quality time
I can't take it, no, your love I miss it
And I'll be seein' ya soon because I got myself a ticket, see ya
I had a talk with my boss
I took some time off
Oh, I'm comin' home for Christmas (comin' home)
I'm comin' home for Christmas to you (baby, baby)
I'm comin' home for Christmas (be ready, be ready now)
I'm comin' home for Christmas and I'll be bearin' the gift of love
Won't let another minute, hour, day go by
Or spend another second, girl, without you by my side (oh, stay with me)
I refuse to spend this Christmas, no
Said I refuse to spend this Christmas
Without my baby by my side, ooh baby
Surprise, surprise
I'm comin' home for Christmas
(I'm comin' home for Christmas) Straight home to you, baby, baby
(I'm comin' home for Christmas) So have your arms open for me
(I'm comin' home for Christmas) And I'll be bringin' this lovin' home to you
(I'm comin' home for Christmas) Walk in the door, you standin' there
Make love to you everywhere (I'm comin' home for Christmas)
I'm so excited I'm comin' home for Christmas, yeah
(Christmas, yeah, Christmas, yeah, Christmas, yeah)
