The holidays just seem better
When you’ve found yourself
In the right weather
This year it’s looking like never
Because I’m all alone
It’s been forever
Since I last heard your voice
But now I really don’t
Need you with me
The only present I want
Is for you not to show up
At my door

This is a holiday, baby
That I don’t need you here, with me
And this is my time of year, and I
I just don’t need you here, baby

I’ll find time for the presents
For my mom and dad
Cause I love them
And I’ll find time for my cousins
Because I owe them now
And cause I can
Do what I want to do
But my plans don’t
Involve you
But your gift’s always welcome
I could never say no
That would be harsh

This is a holiday, baby
That I don’t need you here, with me
And this is my time of year, and I
I just don’t need you here, baby

Every night alone I’ve spent
Thinkin’ of what to buy you this year
I don’t know what you want
Maybe I don’t need you this year
That’s one less gift to buy
Saving money for grandma’s present
I think its time that we say goodbye
Because grandma really needs those breath mints!

This is a holiday, baby
That I don’t need you here, with me
And this is my time of year, and I
I just don’t need you here, baby

Its Merry Christmas time, baby
No mistletoe for you, with me
Gifts from my mom and dad, and I
I just don’t need you here
