Lyrics What Do The Lonely Do At Christmas - Patti LaBelle

What Do The Lonely Do At Christmas

'Tis the season to be jolly
But how can I be when I have nobody?
Yuletide carol doesn’t make it better
Knowing that we won’t be together
A silent night, I know it’s gonna be
Joy to the world but it’s gonna be sad for me
What do the lonely do at Christmas?
Oh, what do the lonely do at Christmas?
The children can play with their new toys
While their little hearts burst open with joy
And lovers can kiss beneath the mistletoe
Choirs can sing those glorious songs of old
But what is there, oh, for me to do
Now that it’s Christmas and I don’t have you
What do the lonely do at Christmas?
Oh, what do the lonely do, ooh?
What do the lonely do at Christmas?
Oh, what do the lonely do at Christmas?
What do they do?
What do they do?
What do they do?
I’m talkin' 'bout lowly people
Sometimes, they do nothing but cry, cry
They imagine, they imagine a whole lot of stuff
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m talking 'bout lowly people
What do they do?
They wish, they wish they had someone to love, yeah
That’s what they do, that’s what they do, that’s what they do, hey
What do they do?
What do they do?
