James Brown - Santa Claus, Santa Claus lyrics

rate me

I've been good, so good you know<br />

Well, why do I have to suffer so<br />

Santa Claus, Santa Claus<br />

Please, don't make me suffer so<br />

<br />

Christmas come but once a year<br />

Oh, won't somebody please, please<br />

Please bring me some Christmas cheer<br />

I need a Christmas cheer<br />

Santa clause please, please, please don't make me suffer so<br />

Can't take it no more<br />

<br />

Mama's been sick, oh, Lord, papa has too<br />

What I want please, was just to fool me and you<br />

And my brothers too<br />

<br />

I went to the welfare, but I waited little too long<br />

And the little I had when I started<br />

Couldn't know it was all gone<br />

<br />

Lord, I've been good, oh, so good I know<br />

Why, why, why, tell me, do I have to suffer so<br />

Now Santa Claus, Santa Claus<br />

Please, please don't make me suffer so<br />

<br />

Oh Lord, do you hear me?<br />

<br />

Mama has been sick, God help her, papa has too<br />

I find out when I once believed, just to fool me and you<br />

I went to the welfare but I wanted a little, a little, a little, a little help<br />

I just can't I gotta help myself but, wait a minute<br />

<br />

It seems, seems that I waited a little too long<br />

When I was there, do you believe?<br />

I found out it all got over, I ain't got nobody<br />

But Santa Claus, you're my last hope<br />

<br />

Please, Lord have mercy<br />

Don't make me suffer so<br />

<br />

When I, when I, when I realized I ain't got nobody<br />

No, no, give me your helpin' hand<br />

Give me your helpin' hand
