lyrics

String up the lights before we start to fight
About how we're so different, I'm wrong you're right
I could've worked harder or worked overnights
Or gotten a couple more jobs

Well wait and see
It's so hard in this economy
I don't think I'm gonna be much fun
At Thanksgiving this year

Tell me again about my mother's friend's kid
And how they were buying a home
They filled it with children, such wonderful children
How come you have none of your own

We'll wait and see
It's just hard in this economy
I don't think I'm gonna be much fun
At Christmas Eve this year

I can't afford to buy anyone presents
Especially ones they don't deserve
I'm having trouble just putting one foot
In front of the other and I fear

I don't think I'm gonna be much fun
Around the holidays this year

Pour me a drink before I start to sink
And I'm left alone to think
About how the good times are all now behind me
How long I've been stuck on this brink

You just wait and see
Next year it's the same tragedy
I don't think I'm gonna sing along To Auld Lang Syne this year
