Lyrics
I ain't talkin' just to tease
People like you, you don't grow on trees
Lookie here, that's what it's gonna be
Have everything I need
Around my soulful Christmas tree
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year
I love you, have good cheer
I love you, good God
Got my baby, my precious love
Happiness, good God, I got plenty of
Would you believe I got peace of mind
And I'll be groovin' at Christmas time
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year
May you have a good cheer
I love you
James Brown loves you
You lucky so-and-so
Maceo!
Brother love
Soulful Christmas like a sweet melody
I'm a lucky so-and-so
The bells gonna ring for me
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
To all of my fans, have a good cheer
I love you, I love you, won't take nobody else
I can't stand myself, huh, good God
I got a heart full of love for the whole wide world
And a little special love, my little soulful girl
I got this feelin' every, every now and then
Gotta get ready to bring the New Year in
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
All good cheer, there's one more thing
You've been so nice to me down through the years
And I'll always remember you, well, I'll never forget
You bought my records, come to see my show
That's why James Brown love you so
You come to see my show
That's a debt that I'll always owe
Come to see my show, see you at Christmas
Come to see my show, see my show
Writer(s): James Brown, Alfred James Ellis, Hank Ballard
