Christmas Wrapping
"Bah!"
No, that's too strong
'Cause it's my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just because it is the season
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from
Last year, world tour, aeroplanes and babies
We met some guys but never the time
Most of '98 passed along those lines
So deck the halls and trim those trees
Raise up the cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas with my mates this year
Calendar picture, frozen landscape
Chilled this room for twenty-four days
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!
Flashback to springtime, saw him again
Would've been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree we were both free
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
We didn't, of course, 'til the summertime
Out to the beach to his boat, could I join him?
No, this time it was me
Sunburn in the third degree
Now the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it
Chorus:
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Chorus (2X)
Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-do's
A few cards a few calls, because it's R-S-V-P
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites
Last fall I had a night to myself
Same guy called, halloween party
Waited all night for him to show
This time his car wouldn't go
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time
Chorus
Tesco has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?
So it's on with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all-night garage
But when to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line that guy I've been chasing all year
"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
You mean you forgot the papers too?"
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy e-ending
Chorus (repeat to the fade)
Chorus:
Everyone can see we're together
Chorus
Living life is fun and we've just begun
Chorus (repeat to the end)
Chorus :
I can't believe what I heard yesterday
Pre-chorus :
Chorus
I'm tired of hearing from your cheap talking friends
Pre-chorus
Why don't you step to me
Pre-chorus
(Chorus)
Chorus
We Are Family
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing
As we walk on by
And we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
All of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose
To get our share of this world's delights
High hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight
No we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family jewelStep To Me
Why don't you step to me
Let me take you for a ride
I'll take you where you can run
But you can't hide
Come on and step to me
Shame the devil tell the truth
I can tell you don't know what to do
About your boasting and lying
Whispering words you had no right to say
And now there’s no use denying
Big words and small promises
Your living in your dreams
Smell the coffee 'cause it’s time to wake up
Sometimes the truth can be mean
Now it's time come prove your words to me
If you think you've got what it takes
There’s no time for your insecurities
I'm gonna wipe that smile of your face
Just how you run me around
I know you boys ain't nothing better to do
Than try to keep your girl down
Small town big attitude
Is more than just a state of your mind
But you and me belong to me and you
Cos honesty's so hard to find
Chorus
If you think you've got what it takes
I heard the rumour
About your loving well it's fake
Ch-ch-ch-check it out yourself
If you think I'm gonna suffer that
What do you think I am some kind of pussie cat ?
Chit chat to the girls and boys you call your friends
Tell them that you've never been to the place where loving ends
You never graduated from the school of love you see
So come on boy why don't you step to me
Chorus (2X)
Why don't you step to me
If you think you've got what it takes
I heard the rumour
About your loving well it's fake
Ch-ch-ch-check it out yourself
If you think I'm gonna suffer that
What do you think I am some kind of pussie cat ?
Chit chat to the girls and boys you call your friends
Tell them that you've never been to the place where loving ends
You never graduated from the school of love you see
So come on boy why don't you step to me
