Your annual Christmas card not exactly a work of art, it seems more like a piece of work to me a necessary chore ‘cause it was ages ago At least that I know for sure that you accepted me for who I was Now there’s sorrow in your face, caused by the error of my ways You probably felt kind when you sent me this reminder of how my love isn’t mine ‘cause it’s not really love ‘cause you wrote only one name Will you stop playing this game some time? It’s really gotten old You tell me I’m in your hearts and then write on your Christmas cards: “Merry Christmas, merry merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you but not to you” “Merry Christmas, merry merry Christmas here’s one ticket home” when we are two Now I will answer this coldness with a brash of boldness you haven’t seen in me yet and there’s nothing you can do And when you’ll read this letter I will already feel better like I have never felt before, I wonder no longer why Now this year don’t wait for me ‘cause here’s a change of key I won’t come home for Christmas I won’t come home for Christmas I won’t come home for Christmas Not alone

On a lousy night in June, you stole my heart and gave it back You took me dancing on the moon I had to pay for the cab You read me poems at the grave of Edgar Allan Poe And I found that really brave but next time don't read your own But don't worry, I'll be okay as long as we'll be kissing in L.A. Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be okay as long as we'll be kissing in L.A. For our honeymoon you took me shopping in New York I got you a golden spoon You got me a wooden fork I am yours, you are not mine When you walk home I have to stay You pay a fee, I pay a fine When I am kept you stay away But don't worry, I'll be okay as long as we'll be kissing in L.A. Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be okay as long as we'll be kissing in L.A.
