On Christmas Eve
We look so sweet
Looking at a year gone by
Presents under the tree
But there’s nothing there from me
‘Cos I haven’t been good enough this year
Shopping on Christmas Eve
Makes a man believe
That there’s no one looking out for me
Been here for so long
With the same old holiday songs
Playing on an endless repeat
I don’t care what you get me
Just don’t get me too early in the day
‘Cos I need my beauty sleep
On Christmas Eve
I’ve been trying so hard all day
I know all about you
But I’m clueless, there’s no doubt you can tell
You know me better than I know myself
I don’t care what you get me
Just don’t get me too early in the day
‘Cos I need my beauty sleep
On Christmas Eve
I’ve been trying so hard all day
Come Christmas day
I don’t know what to say
‘Cos I haven’t got
Anything for you
And I can’t change
My selfish ways
It’s something
That I just can’t do
All I have is my heart
And that’s a start
But I swear I’ll go to the end
