It's Christmas mornin', another year's gone by
I can remember you made me cry
Now, tell me, baby, why you put me down?

I bought you a Cadillac for Christmas and a diamond ring
I tried to give you almost everything
Now, tell me, baby, ooh, why you put me down?

You ate my turkey on Christmas morn
When I looked around, you and my Cadillac were gone
Now, tell me, baby, oh, why'd you put me down?

When I found you, baby, you didn't have a dime
I put the clothes on your back, made you look real fine
Now, tell me, baby, yeah, oh, why'd you put me down?

You got me juiced on Christmas day
You stole my bank roll, went on your merry way
Now, tell me, baby, oh, why'd you put me down?

Well, I dreamt last night that you were lonesome, too
Yes, you can come back, baby, but, baby, when you do
I wanna tell you, oh, baby, bring my Cadillac with you!
