[Verse 1]
The phone stopped ringin'
And the door stopped knockin', yeah
Said there's no noise makin', well
Everybody's gone shoppin', yeah
That leaves you and me, girl
Finally some privacy

[Chorus]
What about some Christmas lovin' baby?
What about some Christmas lovin' baby?
Said it's just you and me
Good lovin' by the Christmas Tree, well well

[Bridge]
Now, listen baby, I don't have to have
A box of presents givin' to me, oh no baby, well
See all those gifts and things are fine
But that ain't what I need

[Chorus]
Tell me, what about some Christmas lovin' baby?
What about some Christmas lovin' baby?
Said it's just you and me baby
Sweet lovin' by the Christmas Tree

[Verse 2]
I took off early from work
And I turned all friends away, yeah
Said I've got nowhere to be, hey, yeah
Just you and me baby for the rest of the day
I'm staring at the mistletoe
Come on in and close the door

[Chorus]
What about some Christmas lovin' baby?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
What about some Christmas lovin' baby?
Said it's just you and me in this room, ow, girl
Good lovin' by the Christmas Tree, well well

[Bridge]
Said I need you to listen girl
I don't have to have
A box of presents givin' to me, no baby, well
See all those gifts and things are fine
But that ain't what I need
Said it ain't what I need

[Chorus]
What about some Christmas lovin' baby?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
What about some Christmas lovin' baby?
Said it's just you and me, get it baby
Sweet lovin' by the Christmas Tree
I’m talkin' ‘bout some good, good lovin' baby
What about it?
Talkin' bout sweet lovin' baby, yeah
What about it? What about it?
Talkin' bout makin' some Christmas love
What about it? What about it?
See, I don't want no presents, baby
What about it? What about it?
All I want is you, baby
What about it? What about it?
By the Christmas Tree, baby
What about it? What about it?
By the Christmas Tree, hey, hey, hey, hey
What about it? What about it?
By the Christmas Tree
What about it? What about it?

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”).
