[Verse 1]
Santa, please, will you help me
'Cause I'm all alone with my Christmas tree
See, my honey's on his way, his flight's delayed
Can you bring him on your sleigh?
'Cause time is going...

[Chorus]
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home, ooh yeah

[Verse 2]
Santa, please, will you help me
'Cause I'm all alone and so unhappy
See, I need my baby here to hold me tight
Can you bring him here tonight?
'Cause time is going...

[Chorus]
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home, yeah yeah

[Verse 3]
Santa, please, please help me
'Cause I'm all alone, ooh, and I need, I need...
Up to now I've been real good, so tell me why
Why is time taking it's time and going so...

[Chorus]
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home

[Bridge]
(Call Dasher, call Dancer, call Prancer, call Vixen...)
Can you help me out real quick? It's an emergency
(On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner, on Blitzen...)
Can you help me out, St. Nick? (Santa, please)
'Cause time is going...

[Chorus]
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home (Bring him on home)
Slowly dragging me along
Santa, please bring my man home (Bring my man home)

[Outro]
Call your boys...
(Call Dasher, call Dancer, call Prancer, call Vixen...)
Call your boy Rudolph, help a girl out, oh yeah
Pretty please, Santa, please...
