Well, some say that old night-life We didn't sow the seeds My baby calls it loneliness, it seems Yeah, we got our problems as it turns out I can't give her all she needs And it just ain't getting better this year Go on down to the local wishing well It started good, and then it went to hell Well, it's not that fairy tale of New York City She's just my Jezebel And it just ain't getting better this year Well, some say December It brings a man holiday cheer But I swear, December is the loneliest time of the year Well, she got those grass stains On her new blue jeans It seems life just kicked her in the pants It's the last place she thought that she would ever be So hold on to me, girl Can I have this dance, because Some say December It brings a man holiday cheer But I swear December is the loneliest time of the year So merry, merry Christmas
