No, i don’t wanna get you a gift
Just to say that i did
We both know it’s just for show
I don’t wanna look under the tree
There’s nothing for me
There’s nothing i want or need
No, i don’t want to shop on the eve
’cause i don’t believe
In contributing to corporate greed
No, i don’t wanna deck all the halls
Watch as the snow falls
Outside in the frosty glow
But we know it’s weirder if i don’t
The spirit in the air says i must go
Through the holiday motions
That’s just the only way we know
No, i don’t wanna get you that gift
Or tell you i missed you
’cause that’s not the truth, you know
No, i don’t wanna put on a smile
Say, it’s been a while
Since we were under thе mistletoe
But we know it’s wеirder if i don’t
The spirit in the air says i must go
Through the holiday motions
That’s just the only way we know
I know it’s only once a year
Now it’s all becoming clear
That i’m acting out of fear
Can we just be more sincere?
And now you think i got no heart
Got no lights on, in the dark
But can we just be more sincere?
Please
No, i don’t want to shop ’til i’m tired
Just because it’s required
To get obligatory monetary symbols designed
To cross off my list
Just to say that i did
I just wanted you to know
That maybe we could sit by the fire
Until we retire
And laugh ’til our lungs give out
And maybe i could get you a gift
Just because i wanted
To show you you’re all i need
But still we know it’s weirder if i don’t
The spirit in the air says i must go
Through the holiday motions
That’s just the only way we know
Yeah we know it’s weirder if i don’t
The spirit in the air says i must go
Through the holiday motions
That’s just the only way we know
