Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's not Christmas, no-ah-ah
It's not Christmas, no-ah-ah
It's not Christmas, no-ah-ah
Till somebody cries
[Verse 2]
Everybody made it home for Christmas Eve
Tried to keep it cool around the Christmas tree
Every year we sing a little song to survive
That it's not Christmas till somebody cries
[Verse 3]
My boyfriend is a vegan, so they fed him fish
My uncle made it worse by talking politics
I had a few opinions, might have started a fight
Well, it's not Christmas till somebody cries
[Verse 4]
It's not Christmas
Till we break down in tears
It's not Christmas
It's the best time of the year
[Verse 5]
Grandpa ate the gummies that we meant to hide
We tried to play it off like it's a holiday high
He unwrapped all the presents and he ruined the surprise
Well, it's not Christmas till somebody
[Verse 6]
Breaks into and argument, ooh, I used to fight it
We get emotional too, I won't deny it
I used to hide in my room but now I like it
'Cause it's not Christmas till somebody cries
[Verse 7]
It's not Christmas
Till we all break down in tears
It's not Christmas
It's the best time of the year
[Verse 8]
It's not Christmas
Till somebody cries
Till somebody cries
[Verse 9]
Waking up too early in my childhood bed
The nieces and the nephews jumping on my head
They keep on asking questions like is Santa a lie
Well, it's not Christmas till somebody cries
[Verse 10]
It's not Christmas (No-oh-oh)
It's not Christmas (Have a holly jolly)
Secret is to sing a little song to survive
That it's not Christmas till somebody cries (Somebody cries)
No, it's not Christmas till somebody cries (No, it's not Christmas)
It's not Christmas till somebody cries
