[Verse 1]
Come inside, the world is cold
I’ll cuddle you and love you slow
Open arms waiting for you
Girl, just call and I'm there for you
Oh, what I've got planned tonight
You and I scheduled to fly
So let love take us right off from this room

You look like you could use a friend
Refuse to let loneliness win
No way
Girl, it’s Christmas for Christ's sake

[Chorus]
Would you like to spend
12 Nights of Christmas with me?
Tell me, baby, now
Would you like to spend
12 Nights of Christmas with me?

[Verse 2]
We'll take a trip around the world
I'd make one wish and you'd be my girl
I believe in Christmas magic, baby, yeah
Look into each other's eyes
Discover Christmas paradise
Just let me take your body away tonight

You look like you could use a friend
Refuse to let loneliness win
No way
It’s Christmas for Christ's sake

[Chorus]
Would you like to spend
12 Nights of Christmas with me?
Tell me, girl
Would you like to spend
12 Nights of Christmas with me?
Girl

[Bridge]
Tonight I'm gonna put the world under your Christmas Tree, girl
And the greatest gift of all, girl, is you here lying next to me, girl
Would you baby? (Repeat 7X)

Tell me would you like

[Chorus]
Would you like to spend
12 Nights of Christmas with me?
Baby, tell me, would you like, girl
Would you like to spend
12 Nights of Christmas with me?
Just come go with me, girl
Would you like to spend
12 Nights of Christmas with me?
I can take you there, baby
Would you like to spend
12 Nights of Christmas with me?
If you wanna go, just reach out to me, baby
Would you like to spend
12 Nights of Christmas with me?
Would you like to spend
12 Nights of Christmas with me?

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
