Santa Don’t Stop For Me Know

Lyrics

I was hoping, when I met her and told her my heart was hers She could make me a better man, but I made both of us worse She's always out with the fellas, and I'm forever green I don't know why I'm so jealous and say things I don't mean Or the reason I made that unseasonal scene She said, "Hon', it's Christmas anyway, can we try not to fight?" I said, "I don't care about the day, but I know when I'm right" So she took a Greyhound bus back home for the holidays To be with her East Coast family 900 miles away I think she can see we're not gonna be okay Santa, don't stop for me Don't leave any presents underneath my tree I've been 'bout as bad as any boy could be Santa, don't stop for me Santa, don't stop for me Well the winter weather is frightful; let it snow, let it snow Christmas parties — every night's full — but I don't want to go I'm making an X-mas list of bad things I have done I've been a shiftless employee and a disobedient son But how I treated my girl is the very worst one Santa, don't stop for me Don't leave any presents under my Christmas tree I've been about as bad as any boy could be so Santa, don't stop for me Santa, don't stop for me Just remember, Santa, when you make deliveries at this time next year This December, though I misbehaved, I was forthcoming, frank, and sincere Does that count for something? Christmas Eve, it's late and we should be nestled snug in our beds I'm alone, awake, and quietly watching TV instead But you're in a hurry, Santa, you don't have much time There's no need to worry, when you're filling up stockings, you can skip mine That's my present to you: one less chimney to climb Santa, don't stop for me Don't leave any presents underneath this year's tree I've been 'bout as bad as any boy could be so Santa, don't stop for me Santa, don't stop for me Santa, don't stop for me I've been just as bad as any boy could be I've been acting selfish and un-Christmas-y Santa, don't stop for me Santa, don't stop for me
