I’ll Be Coming Home

[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]
I'll go get eggnog
If I get a ride to town
But in this frigid air I just might slide the whole way down

You'd say "I'm busy"
And I shouldn't meet you there
Already I'm in red and green and spreading Christmas cheer

[Bridge]
I know it's only the twenty-third
And you haven't seen me since the fight

It's been long enough for us to move on
I know that you miss me

Your first Christmas gift is coming home tonight

[Verse 2]
I'll admit I'm kind of worried
How will you react
When I'm knocking on your door in just a Santa hat?

I would have called to tell you
But you wouldn't get the phone
I hope you didn't get that restraining order
'Cause this Christmas I'll be coming home

[Pre-Chorus]
And the way those sparkling tears in your eyes (Your eyes)
Remind me is what [?]

[Chorus]
So come on, baby, cut me some slack
One night and you'll want me back
And we'll spend this Christmas Eve together

[Verse 3]
Do you remember
How we used to be in love
But things eventually fell apart and push turned into shove

Promise I'll be friendly
Like I was back in the day
Can't we stay up 'till three AM waiting for Santa's sleigh?

I'll go get eggnog
If I get a ride to town
(So, uh, just let me in, um)

[Pre-Chorus]
And the way those sparkling tears in your eyes (Your eyes)
Remind me is what [?]

[Chorus]
So come on, baby, cut me some slack
One night and you'll want me back
And we'll spend this Christmas Eve together

[Interlude]
[Instrumental]
(Do, do, do, do, do do)

And do we all think
Do we all think sometime
Just waiting for winter
For reason and rhyme

[?]
That you'll forgive me yet
And when the sun hits the ice
You'll sing (Do, do, do, do, do, do)

'Cause I see [?]
That you'll forgive me yet
And when the sun hits the ice
You'll sing (Do, do, do, do, do, do)

[Verse 4]
Now, baby, let's move past this
Things are not like before
By the way, I really hope you open up the door

I thought you would forgive
But if you really don't want me
Here, then why'd you put presents for me under the tree?

[Pre-Chorus]
And the way those sparkling tears in your eyes (Your eyes)
Remind me is what [?]

[Chorus]
So come on, baby, cut me some slack
One night and you'll want me back
And we'll spend this Christmas Eve together

So come on, baby, cut me some slack
I see you're wanting me back
I swear, this time we'll do it right

[Instrumental outro]
