Santa Claus, Santa Claus Lyrics

I've been good, so good you know
Well, why do I have to suffer so
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Please, don't make me suffer so

Christmas come but once a year
Oh, won't somebody please, please
Please bring me some Christmas cheer
I need a Christmas cheer
Santa clause please, please, please don't make me suffer so
Can't take it no more

Mama's been sick, oh, Lord, papa has too
What I want please, was just to fool me and you
And my brothers too

I went to the welfare, but I waited little too long
And the little I had when I started
Couldn't know it was all gone

Lord, I've been good, oh, so good I know
Why, why, why, tell me, do I have to suffer soJames Brown - Santa Claus, Santa Claus - http://motolyrics.com/james-brown/santa-claus-santa-claus-lyrics.html
Now Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Please, please don't make me suffer so

Oh Lord, do you hear me?

Mama has been sick, God help her, papa has too
I find out when I once believed, just to fool me and you
I went to the welfare but I wanted a little,
a little, a little, a little help
I just can't I gotta help myself but, wait a minute

It seems, seems that I waited a little too long
When I was there, do you believe?
I found out it all got over, I ain't got nobody
But Santa Claus, you're my last hope

Please, Lord have mercy
Don't make me suffer so

When I, when I, when I realized I ain't got nobody
No, no, give me your helpin' hand
Give me your helpin' hand
