You know they'll break you.
Yes they'll drag you out.
No matter how much you protest.
Oh you can cry and you can shout.
There's no omission.
'Cause it's tradition when new year comes around.

There'll be a party in someone else's house,
and you'll be sitting in the corner feeling sorry for yourself.
Now drown your sorrows until tomorrow when new year comes around.

Whatever happened to those times when me and you
would dance all night?
And sit and drink red wine. Just talking all the time until daylight.

And now you're lonely but standing in a crowd.
And you'll be thinking about how you should have never let me down.
I know you'll miss me and want to kiss me when new year comes around.
