Outta time, outta money, outta patience, with a smile on my face
Cuz it's Christmas time again and I thought that I had more time to waste
This wasn't my intention, might need an intervention again
(Oh no, no, no)
Oh why did I wait? hesitate? I think I'm losing my mind
(Oh he's huffin' n' puffin and he's full of stuffin')
They're saying I'm too late, but decorations are on aisle nine
(I hope she wants some tinsel, not a diamond or a crystal)
They got me payin' top dollar so she won't know I forgot her again
(Oh no, no, no)
The only place that's open's the convenience store
Where all the dad's are shopping cuz they didn't before
I wonder what my wife got for the kids and for me
I should probably get something for under the tree
"It's delayed, I swear I paid! It'll be here in a few more days"
(She isn't buyin', she can tell it when you're lyin')
I thought that I'd recovered right until I saw the look on her face
(Come on baby, listen, tis the season for forgivin')
I'm thinking that I shoulda, coulda, woulda, but I didn't again
(Oh no, no, no)
The only thing that's open is the grocery store
With all the papa's hustlin' just to get in the door
I wonder what my wife is gonna do to me
When she opens up the oven mitt from under the tree
The only thing that's open is the old liquor store
The kids have made their lists, if it's not on it's a bore
I wonder if my wife is gonna get any sleep
Before the kid's wake us up when they run to the tree
Made it through another year and I'm thinking that I did alright
(Boy, that was a close one, he felt the walls were closing)
Cuz Christmas ain't about the things you get, it's just the fact that I tried
(Quicker every year, and he's happy that it's here)
But if you're wanting something more, I'll run to the bargain store
I heard they got a sale on November's fall décor
Tried everyone I know but they all just hit ignore
I'm wishing that I would've listened, but I didn't again
