lyrics

So here's to the end of another year
And I still can't handle beer
There's just something about the taste
That makes me screw up my face.

And I always hated Christmas with you
There was never anything to do
And you're parents always drank too much
And your sister always made a fuss.,

Like the times she spilled her drink on me
Yeah, she really took it out on me
And I only want to be at home
But I don't want to be alone.

So I give to you another honest, earnest Christmas carol
A gift from me to you just to get you through the year.
So I give to you another honest, earnest Christmas carol
A gift from me to you just to get you through the year.

And then I met another girl
Who traveled around the world
And her hair was full of golden curls
And her leaving just made me seasick.

And all I want to be is alone
But she's never at my home
Because she's gone to see the sights
Yeah I see her name in lights...

So I'll give to her, another honest earnest resolution
On New Years Eve, I'll try to make her believe
That I can change, that I can be another, better person
Than the guy I was before, she went and got on that plane.
