The snow is falling down. the temperature is dropping. The lights light up the town and everyone is Christmas shopping. But I'm lost in the crowd, oh why can't I remember the reason I'm so down and why this happens to me every cold December?
It's a feeling that I just can't dismiss I'm gonna spend a lonely Christmas, sitting here and staring back at my TV. A Miracle On 34rth Street on the all-night TV repeat, just Bob Hope and Santa Claus and me.
Those conversations I can't stand Cause I know what they're gonna say, "Tell us all your Christmas plans." When they know I'll be home for the holidays...
So why can't they mind their own business? I'm gonna spend a lonely Christmas sitting in my living room. For all they know I might have family, friends and neighbors, Christmas cards and wrapping paper trimmings on the tree and mistletoe.
But they can't hurt me anymore if I won't share their Christmas spirit. They won't hang holly at my door, They won't sing carols, won't come knocking, won't come near it.
So why can't they mind their own business? I'm gonna spend a lonely Christmas Sitting in my living room but that's ok. I don't need no one else, I got my microwave and a turkey pot-pie... just another lonely Christmas day just another lonely Christmas day whoa oh oh oh oh oh just another lonely Christmas day, hey hey hey JUST ANOTHER LONELY CHRISTMAS DAY!
