[Intro]
I don't wanna be, to be alone, baby
Unless I'm alone, unless I'm alone with ya
Cause it won't be, cause it won't be
Cause it won't be, cause it won't
I hold you close, I hold you close, darling
The way that I use to, the way that I use to
Cause it won't be, cause it won't be
Cause it won't be, cause it won't...

[Verse 1]
There's people on the sidewalk, there's music in the air
Everyone is smiling, I'm wishing you were here
To put this smile on my face, the way that you used to do
Cause all I want for Christmas, is Christmas time with you
I don't wanna spend this time without you
I just want to hold you close to me
Kiss beside the Christmas tree
Baby, say you'll be coming home

[Chorus]
I don't want to be alone for Christmas (Be alone for Christmas)
Unless I'm alone with you (Unless I'm alone with you)
Cause it won't be Christmas (It won't be Christmas)
It won't be Christmas
I just want to hold you close for Christmas (Hold you close for Christmas)
The way that I used to do (The way that I used to do)
Cause it won't be Christmas (It won't be Christmas)
It won't be (It won't be)
Unless I'm alone with you

[Verse 2]
Sittin' by the fire, I'll hold you in my arms
Keep from the cold night, you'll be safe and warm
We raise a glass together, to love that never dies
I'll be spending Christmas, looking in your eyes
There's no better time to be together
There's no sadder time to be alone
Hurry back and please come home
Stay with me and make my dreams come true

[Chorus]
I don't want to be alone for Christmas (Be alone for Christmas)
Unless I'm alone with you (Unless I'm alone with you)
Cause it won't be Christmas (It won't be Christmas)
It won't be Christmas
I just want to hold you close for Christmas (Hold you close for Christmas)
The way that I used to do (The way that I used to do)
Cause it won't be Christmas (It won't be Christmas)
It won't be (It won't be)
Unless I'm alone with you

[Bridge]
I don't wanna spend this time without you
I just want to hold you close to me
Kiss beside the Christmas tree
Baby, say you'll be coming home
Coming home

[Chorus]
I don't want to be alone for Christmas (Be alone for Christmas)
Unless I'm alone with you (Unless I'm alone with you)
Cause it won't be Christmas (It won't be Christmas)
It won't be Christmas
I just want to hold you close for Christmas (Hold you close for Christmas)
The way that I used to do (The way that I used to do)
Cause it won't be Christmas (It won't be Christmas)
It won't be (It won't be)
I don't want to be alone for Christmas (Be alone for Christmas)
Unless I'm alone with you (Unless I'm alone with you)
Cause it won't be Christmas (It won't be Christmas)
It won't be Christmas...

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande (born Grande-Butera on June 26, 1993) is an actress and a pop vocalist from Boca-Raton, Florida. She had performed in many plays as a child but didn’t make a significant dent in her dream to become an R&B star until being cast as a cheerleader in the Broadway musical 13, earning a National Youth Theatre Association Award for her performance.

Soon after, she was able to land a role in the Nickelodeon hit TV series, Victorious, which propelled her to become a teen idol as her on-screen character seemed to be “very impressionable and easily swayed” but “generally sweet.” From this point on, she was able to garner the fan base that allowed her to create tracks that worked only towards the promotion of the show, like “Put Your Hearts Up.”

She would have to wait until August 2012 to see the cancellation of Victorious, which allowed Grande to finally make music her priority. With her life now revolving entirely around this passion, she was able to release her debut album, Yours the result of a three-year endeavor. She completed the album, initially titled Daydreamin, in June 2013; it was released on August 19, 2013. In September 2013, it debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, with 138,000 copies sold in its first week, making Grande the first female artist since Ke$ha to have her first album debut atop the charts.
