If you got the Christmas Spirit then sing this
I want to make love for Christmas

[Verse 1]
We don't have to contemplate, girl
‘Cause we know what we're here for
We don't need to talk about it, baby
Just come on in and close the door, girl
This holiday makes it a time for giving
So let's lay down and let me express my feelings

[Chorus]
When it comes down to the holidays make no mistake I know that
Your lovin' is the greatest gift
Christmas Trees and all these things are very dear to me girl but
Your lovin' is the greatest gift
Oh I love writing letters, decorating, taking toasts and celebrating, girl but your
Your lovin' is the greatest gift
So let's unwrap tonight
Your lovin' is the greatest gift
Make love until the morning light, girl
Your lovin' is the greatest gift

This holiday was made for giving, girl
So open up and let me get into your lovin' through the night, girl

[Verse 2]
I promise on this Christmas Night
I'll take good care of you
Who needs a fantasy
When I'm lyin' here with my dream come true
This holiday was meant for givin', girl
So give me your love, baby
Give me your love, baby, tonight

[Chorus]
When it comes down to the holidays make no mistake I know that
Your lovin' is the greatest gift
Christmas Trees and all these things are very dear to me girl but
Your lovin' is the greatest gift ever, yeah
Oh I love writing letters, decorating, taking toasts and celebrating, girl but your
Your lovin' is the greatest gift
We can open all the presents but
Your lovin' is the greatest gift
‘Cause baby nothing compares to your love
Your lovin' is the greatest gift
Where would Christmas be, tell me baby
Your lovin' is the greatest gift
Without you here with me, ooh baby
Your lovin' is the greatest gift
Nothing can compare baby
Your lovin' is the greatest gift
To the joy you bring to me baby
Your lovin' is the greatest gift

Holiday…holiday…Merry Christmas

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”).
