I'm lighting a candle, as I'm looking through the window To the town square, the snow covered streets are lonely and bare The town Christmas tree, winks mockingly at me Cause I should be spending Christmas with you I wrapped my last gift and put the cellotape away Checked the answering machine And in the distance, a choir sings About the joy that Christmas brings But it's making me feel blue Cause I should be spending Christmas with you But it breaks my heart that that's the place I just can't be Cause I hate your family Thats right can't stand 'em Now let me tell you a little something a little bit about why I'll tell you a story The day I met you I knew you could get me through When we're alone, my world is complete, you're all that I need But when your family call They sh** me up the wall Spending time with them just makes my brain bleed But it's making me feel blue Cause I should be spending Christmas with you But I'd rather string my nuts up to a Christmas tree Cause I hate your family The night I first met them The dog was drunk And your father he threatened me with a knife Your sister showed me Her collection of eels And what she did then will stay with me for life I can't forget it And it's making me blue Cause I should be spending Christmas with you Cos I'd rather sneeze, Tangle my skis Crash into some trees and break one of my knees And freeze at -50 degrees I can't stand to spend christmas with your family And im crying now i've got to spend it with mine
