"Christmas, Why You Gotta Do Me Like This" lyrics

"Christmas, Why You Gotta Do Me Like This"

Christmas, why you gotta do me like this?
I never did nothing, but jingle all the way
I put up my lights and I hung the mistletoe
So why did you have to leave me all alone

I always look forward, when the day starts getting cold
I know that my baby's gonna keep me plenty warm
But now the days are bitter cold
And the nights are black as the coal
Hung in the stocking for my empty coal-black soul

Christmas comes but once a year
Good tidings and good cheer
I just don't wanna see it this year

Christmas, why you gotta do me like this?
I always embraced you, held you close inside my heart
Away in a mangy manger I'm wasting away
And she isn't coming back
Christmas you're just another day

That I don't wanna live through
