Lyrics

No way, no pressure
Yes, I know it's Christmas Eve
And we don't even have a tree
Don't rush to get me a present
Your presence is enough for me
Stay at home, I'll be happy
'Cause I ain't gonna miss something
That was never here
Holidays make you care enough
To give me gifts, I don't need that stuff
Baby, what I want, you can't wrap it up
'Cause as long as I know I have your love
It's a Merry Christmas, yes, it is
It's a Merry Christmas
No, I'm not Santa Claus
But I wanna spread some Christmas glitter
To someone in a world of need
So extend your love and blessings
To those less fortunate than you and me
Your presence is enough for me
'Cause I ain't gonna miss something
That was never here
Oh, holidays make you care enough
To give me gifts, I don't need that stuff
Baby, what I want, you can't wrap it up
Just as long as I have your love
There was a time
That all I did was [Incomprehensible]
Oh, but all those material things
It was just false happiness
So I learned not to put love
After things that you have
Now it's so easy to see
That the best things in life
Should always be free
Why should we pay for something we just don't need?
It's gonna be a Merry Christmas
Just you and me
It's gonna be a Merry Christmas
Just you and me
It's gonna be a Merry, Merry Christmas
We don't need nothing
It's gonna be a, a Merry Christmas
It's gonna be a Merry Christmas
It's gonna be a Merry Christmas
