Oooff!!...It’s Christmas Already?!

Oh, the tree is up and I've doubled up on mistletoe and booze
Been walking most the year on Santa Claus's shoes
Cause' like Dickens prose and Rudolfs nose
Our love was make-believe
It's Christmas...
So know this...

I've could have been yours for Christmas
But your stocking's full of coal
This feeling's getting old
And there's one too many ways
That you could hurt me
Tell me I'm your man and then desert me
And leave me in the snow

It could have been me and you, our glasses full
But you threw my love away
I'll have a brandy for every time I heard you say
That "this year, my dear
We'll watch the snowflakes fall
Break some bread, cheeks all red
And keep the season all aboveboard"

This Christmas let's watch her face for me (?)
And I'll bet so and so is a dream
It's one hell of a party scene
Oh yeah

A silent plight every night
Drink the blood and start a fight
Now the family's all been seated
Do you really think I needed?
That Apple Watch, expensive scotch
To pass the time till Auld Lang Syne

I've could have been yours for Christmas
You scrooged me in the end
So let's separate our friends
And honey don't pretend
That I'll be ok and I'm on my way
I'll make it out alright
Because it's empty plans with sycophants
I'll tip her twice and thank the band

(I've could have been yours) for Christmas, baby
I've could have been yours for Christmas, baby
I've could have been yours for Christmas, baby
