The Temptations - Give Love on Christmas Day Lyrics

People making lists, buying special gifts;
It's a time to be kind to one and all.
It's that time of year when good friends are dear,
And you wish you could give more
Than just a present from a store.

Why don't you give love on Christmas day? (On Christmas day)
Even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Give love on Christmas day. (On Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love.

People you don't know, smiling out hello;
Everywhere, there's an air of Christmas joy.
It's that once a year when the world's sincere,
And you'd like to find a way
To show the things that words can't say.

Why don't you give love on Christmas day? (On Christmas day)
Oh the man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need to know that someone cares.
Give love on Christmas day. (On Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love.
What the world needs is love.
Yes, the world needs your love.

Why don't you give love on Christmas day? (On Christmas day)
Every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree.
Give love on Christmas day. (On Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love.
What the world needs is love.
Yes, the world needs your love.

Why don't you give love on Christmas day? (On Christmas day)
Tom, Dick and Harry and Suzie too
Need love everyday as much as you
Give love on Christmas day. (On Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love

What the world needs is love
Yes the world needs your love
Why don't you give love on Christmas day? (On Christmas day)
