What Do The Lonely Do At Christmas - Patti LaBelle

'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?
