Christmas Without My Girl
[Verse 1]
December 21st, and something just ain't right
Just the other day, me and my lady had a fight, mmm
Ain't this supposed to be a time of good cheer?
But no matter how hard I try to smile
I ain't feelin' nothin' here
[Pre-Chorus]
So, to all my friends who wanna buy me somethin' nice
You better save all your money
'Cause you can't buy love at any price, no
Not tryin' to be a Scrooge or nothin'
So please don't get me wrong
Unless I'm with my girl, said I wanna be, I wanna be left alone
[Chorus]
I don't want no happy songs (No happy songs)
Don't want no egg nog (Don't want no egg nog)
Really don't want no company (Well)
And please don't send no cards to me
I don't want no mistletoe
No expensive presents, no
I don't want no Christmas without my girl
(My girl, my girl, my girl, my girl, yeah, mmm, say)
[Verse 2]
Now it's the 23rd, the day before Christmas Eve
See, she called me on the phone at six
She won't be seeing me (She won't be seeing me)
Had the nerve to ask me where she should send my presents to
Said that I just hung up the phone
'Cause I didn't know what else to do
[Pre-Chorus]
Think I'll get me a ticket and I'll pack up my stuff, oh oh baby
(That's what you should do) That's what you should do
(When you know you're in love) When you know you're in love, sing
I hope I don't show up and get no surprise
Like her in the arms of some other guy
But for now, for now, I don't want
[Chorus]
I don't want no happy songs (Turn it off, hey)
Don't want no egg nog (Don't want no egg nog)
Really don't want no company (You don't really need to see me)
And please don't send no cards to me
(Don't send no cards to me)
I don't want no mistletoe
(Can't get nobody to kiss me under the mistletoe)
No expensive presents, no
(So I want you to know, I don't)
I don't want no Christmas without my, without my girl
I don't want no happy songs
(No chestnuts roasting on an open fire)
Don't want no egg nog
(No Jack Frost nipping at your nose)
Really don't want no company
(Said I can't go for none of those)
Please don't send no cards to me
(No Merry Christmas, baby)
I don't want no mistletoe
No expensive presents, no
(And don't you send me no, no presents, no)
[Outro]
I don't, I don't want no Christmas, no
Don't want no Christmas without my girl
(Without my girl, without my girl)
Don't want no Christmas without my girl
