Temptations, The - 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 presents from a store

Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day)
Oh even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Him 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)
The man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need to know that there's one cares
Give love on Christmas day (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)
Oh every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes the world needs your love

    2018 wassssssguuuudddd

  20. D.... H....

    Omg 😮 this song reminds me back in the day when my aunt GIGI had played this song way back in the day during Christmas Time and my great grandma 👵 and uncle where living I believe this has to be around hmm 🤔 I said around 2009 somewhere around there and I remembered singing this song on Christmas Day while decorating the Christmas Tree and also praying grace for the food and I remembered that both of my great grandma uncle lil hill and the rest of them said I’m a pretty good singer and that I should go to school for it!! I never forget this was on the year that my mom got out of jail but the sad thing that hurts was that my little sister wasn’t with us that was the worst Christmas without her but it was better to be with my uncle and them I really missed them so much rip uncle lil hill and Madill y’all will be truly missed😥😥😥😥

  21. O.... ....

    This is good, but the New Edition version blow this out the water!!🎄

    O.... ....

    Omar Jackson HELL NO

    O.... ....

    @kirkseyava Yeah, That's Right.

  22. j.... ....

    Eddie Kendrick's vocals gives me chills, especially on the lyric "what the world needs is love!" Outstanding!

    j.... ....

    jsbach15 that’s not Eddie. It Richard street. Who replaced Eddie. It a beautiful song.

    j.... ....

    That's actually glenn lenard as the falsetto. He replaces damon Harris who was fired from group. Damon Harris is the one who replaced eddie and Richard replaced Paul williams

    j.... ....

    That's Dennis Edwards

    j.... ....

    I think all of you are wrong.

    j.... ....

    Not Eddie Kendrick , it's Glen Leonard

  23. L.... ....

    Reminds me of my middle school days, when I attended the winans academy of performing arts, coming home from school, and passing the Motown museum... looking outside the car window, and seeing the Christmas lights shinning on downtown Detroit. 😩

  24. R.... H....

    That's Glenn Lenord on lead.

  25. o.... ....

    Good shit.

  26. R.... W....

    I like it but its not better than j5😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

    R.... W....

    Robert Williams yes it is. wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy Better

    R.... W....

    @Resse Stevenson Yes!

  27. T.... ....

    I like Johnny Gill's version, but this version is great too.

  28. M.... A....

    I remember when my mom and my step dad will be in the house my dad be cooking my mom will be putting up the tree and her decorations playing the song oh my God the memories my mom is gone now and my stepdad but going too soon but never forgotten I miss them guys and I love this song

    M.... A....

    Sorry to hear that...

  29. G.... B....

    This is the best version of the song. Its better than the Jacksons (as much as I like them) and Johnny Gill. Unfortunately it doesn't get nearly as much radio play.

    G.... B....

    Yes i agree

  30. J.... G....

    Tis the season

  31. M.... G....

    I remember my mom playing this song when I was a little girl, as we were decorating the Christmas tree, and baking Christmas cookies. R.I.H my beautiful mom! It's been 3 years since we lost her, and it's still terribly painful, especially around Christmas, as this was her favorite holiday. I miss her every single day. This song will forever be in my heart because of all the special things we did listening to this song. Hopefully I can make it through Christmas without crying. Thank you for posting this song! It really means a lot, especially since we are getting closer to Christmas. Happy Holidays to everyone, everywhere, and their families🎄

    M.... G....

    Amen sister

    M.... G....

    M.... G....

    She's always you 🌹

    M.... G....

    Great song to lisen

  32. S.... B....

    Give Love on Christmas Everyday!

  33. D.... J....

    they sounded more adult when Glen came on board

  34. f.... m....

    don't celebrate Christmas cuz of religion but I like this song alit 😢

  35. z.... z....

    brings back memories with my family I'm born in 85 this was the shit

    z.... z....

    zacharyzaxorFan zack Yes same here 85 baby Detroit love💯

  36. D.... ....

    I love Michael Jackson but I must admit, there are just some songs he can't sing better than and this is a perfect example.

    D.... ....

    Djizzle96 Mike was a child when J5 sang this.

    D.... ....

    Djizzle96 u tripn lol MJ.was like 7 and killed this better than everybody! 😂😂😂😂 In my opinion

    D.... ....

    this is the best version. hands down

  37. J.... W....

    i think glen is a better singer than eddie k. i don't think none can sing like glen in the falsetto.

    J.... W....

    Joshua Williford He's good but he aint got Eddie

    J.... W....

    Eddie is the Best u have your own opinion I have mines 😉

    J.... W....

    Ted Mills had better falsetto and Harry Ray

    J.... W....

    People are very protective of the "Original 5" but Glenn was technically a stronger 1st Tenor than Eddie. That same with Ali-Ollie Woodson who in my opinion was a stronger lead than David. Neither one had the hits that David &, Eddie had when they were with the group. At the end of the day all were great singers.

    J.... W....

    @Orlando Scott Horse feathers

  38. m.... ....

    I love this and the Jackson 5 versions so cute

  39. J.... W....

    no version can top this. his is heavenly.

    J.... W....

    New Edition Got Down On Theirs Though!

    J.... W....

    Yeah Jesus.

    J.... W....

    The Temptations, Then New Edition, Then Jackson's 5 & Johnny Gill.

    J.... W....

    5 Thumbs Up Joshua Williford.

    J.... W....

    Johnny Gill did a nice version also.

  40. R.... R....

    GIVE LOVE EVERY DAY NOT JUST CHRISTMAS

  41. s.... ....

    I love this version most of all.

    s.... ....

    Yes me to all there christmas songs.

    s.... ....

    Me too slightly more than Jackson 5 version

  42. B.... ....

    Who's that singing lead vocals? I hear a falsetto, but neither that voice nor anyone I see in that picture resembles Eddie Kendricks. I'm assuming this version was recorded after he left the group.

    B.... ....

    +Barbarian761 I just discovered that Glenn Leonard sang lead vocals on that recording.

  43. K.... C....

    Love this song by Temptations

    K.... C....

    Yes, Yes, Yes

  44. m.... m....

    My Familys All Time Classics EVERY YEAR!!!

  45. w.... ....

    This was the best version outside of Jackson 5

  46. L.... D....
