So I saw a pretty lady and she walked my way And I wondered what she had to say, yeah Now when she opened her mouth, then the tables turned ‘Cause she wasn’t very happy with me I don’t know why Well, oh shit I was just trying to read your shirt Then I saw another lady and she walked my way And I wondered what she had to say, yeah Now when she opened her mouth, then the tables turned ‘Cause she wasn’t very happy with me I don’t know why Well, oh shit I was trying to read your shirt Now I’m feeling quite outnumbered Two of them and one of me Kinda knew that this would happen ‘Cause I don’t even know how to read Well I saw a dozen ladies by the end of the day And I wondered what they had to say, yeah Now when they opened their mouths, then the tables turned ‘Cause they weren’t very happy with me I think I know why Well, oh shit I was just trying to read your shirt

Santa knows what we’ve been doing with the lights off Doing with the lights off, doing in your bed And Santa knows that I’ve been sneaking through your back door Sneaking through your back door, and lying to your dad But I don’t care what he thinks ‘Cause Santa never had that And I’m on my way, the waiting is over At 7:47 I’ll be five minutes older Get to your house and its getting colder Just another minute girl, I can’t wait to hold ya And mistletoe ya Santa knows what we’ve been doing with the lights off Doing with the lights off, doing in your bed And Santa knows that I’ve been sneaking through your back door Sneaking through your back door, and lying to your dad But I don’t care what he thinks ‘Cause Santa never had that Now its warmer inside, the chestnuts are roasting You got me on fire even when it starts snowing Now we’re home alone, and your parents keep phoning But its quarter to eleven, and I know where its going We’re mistletoe’n Santa knows what we’ve been doing with the lights off Doing with the lights off, doing in your bed And Santa knows that I’ve been sneaking through your back door Sneaking through your back door, and lying to your dad But I don’t care what he thinks I don’t care what he thinks Yeah I don’t care what he think ‘Cause Santa never had that

After a date and some drinks at the bar You’re gonna need a breath mint ‘Cause you gotta stay fresh for me The only exception when getting in my car Is you’re gonna need a breath mint ‘Cause you gotta stay fresh for me No matter where we go The fun could slip away If you’re thinking of the smell Of dirty breath stuck in your face You know its true So I always stay fresh for you Night after night when you come to my room You’re gonna need a breath mint ‘Cause you gotta stay fresh for me You always wonder why I want to spoon Well you kinda need a breath mint And you haven’t been fresh for me Yeah you’re always on my mind And I’ll love you either way But the smell of dirty breath Could start to get into our way You know its true So I always fresh for you No matter where we go The fun could slip away If you’re thinking of the smell Of dirty breath stuck in your face You know its true Yeah you know its true Oh yeah you know its true So I always fresh for you, too

I’m sitting in the dark, counting cards Always contemplating Look where we are, gone too far Damn I’m hesitating Not on my mind, but you call all the time time time Don’t know what to say, I’m afraid I can’t answer baby Don’t want to play, not today Haven’t felt it lately I always try, but there’s nothing for me to find find find Look where I’m standing now I wish I could let you down But I say it’s my house and I blame the bad weather I’m trying to find a good reason to tell ya It’s been 4 months since we met and I don’t like you yet So we’re through, and It’s not me, it’s you I’m better on my own, well no You just don’t get it when I want to be alone, on my phone Don’t second guess it girl There’s just so many places I’d rather be Maybe its me Well nah Look where I’m standing now I wish I could let you down But I say it’s my house and I blame the bad weather I’m trying to find a good reason to tell ya It’s been 4 months since we met and I don’t like you yet So we’re through, yeah yeah We’re through and It’s not me, it’s you You’ve got me running out of ideas I’ll have to travel to Spain Change my name to Eduardo, but That be sounding so lame So for now I’ll just say it’s my house and I’ll blame the bad weather I’m trying to find a good reason to tell ya It’s been 4 months since we met and I don’t like you yet So we’re through, yeah yeah and It’s not me, it’s you It’s not me, it’s you you you you Yeah yeah It’s not me, it’s you It’s definitely you
