[Chorus: The O'Jays]
Christmas just ain't Christmas without the one you love
New Year's just ain't New Year's without the one you love

[Verse 1: Eddie Levert]
Underneath the mistletoe, I saw a face all aglow
Last year, this time
Now I stand all alone and my house is not a home
Without that girl of mine, oh

[Chorus: The O'Jays]
Christmas just ain't Christmas without the one you love
And New Year's just ain't New Year's without the one you love

[Verse 2: Eddie Levert]
12 o'clock and all is well and I was doing oh so swell
Last year, this time
Going shopping for presents together and making vows to leave each other--never
It was a waste of time, oh
[Chorus: The O'Jays]
Christmas just ain't Christmas without the one you love (Oh, oh, oh)
New Year's just ain't New Year's without the one you love

[Outro: Eddie Levert & (The O'Jays)]
Oh, oh
(Christmas just ain't Christmas without the one you love)
And New Year's is just another lonely night without the one you love, and oh no
(Christmas just ain't Christmas) No, no
(Without the one you love) I'm gonna be lonely
I'm gonna be lonely
(New Year's just ain't New Year's) Oh, oh
(Without the one you love) 'Cause I said I need your loving, need
(Christmas just ain't Christmas without the one you love)
