Mmhmm
I ain't putting up Christmas lights because they'll never come down
It's not that I'm lazy, I just used to put them up with my baby
And I said that I don't got the energy, spirit just ain't in me
'Cause you're not around, just another day to me
Just another day to me
Reminiscing on the day when it was mistletoe
Carried with me so, so I had an excuse
To kiss you everywhere we go
And we'd decorate the tree
I look at you, you look at me
Then I grab them hips and you let me unwrap that gift early, baby

But, then I wake up from this daydream to reality, real (by myself, I'm all by myself now)
Hmm, I'm lonely and I know this time of year
This ain't how I'm supposed to feel (forgive me if I'm bringin' you down)
But it just don't feel like Christmas

No, not like Christmas
Now that you're gone away
And it just don't feel like Christmas
No, not like Christmas
Now that you're gone away, babe
And it just don't feel like Christmas
Ohh, not like Christmas
Now that you're gone away
And it just don't feel like Christmas do
Baby, not like Christmas
Now that you're gone away
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Baby you didn't have to leave on Christmas Eve
Sure fire way to kill a holiday for anybody
Now when I hear 'Jingle Bells'
All I hear is you screaming, "Go to Hell"
That's the song that was playing when you left

I'm just saying everyday I wake up from a daydream to reality, real (by myself, I'm all by myself now)
Ooh, I'm lonely and I know this time of year
This ain't how I'm supposed to feel (forgive me if I'm bringin' you down)
But it just don't feel like Christmas

No, not like Christmas
Now that you're gone away
And it just don't feel like Christmas
No, not like Christmas (no, no)
Now that you're gone away, babe
And it just don't feel like Christmas
Ohh, not like Christmas
Now that you're gone away
And it just don't feel like Christmas do
Baby, not like Christmas
Now that you're gone away
Said it just ain't Christmas

Said it just ain't Christmas
