Just Me This Year

December 18th and ain't he sweet? He called me names, and called it quits Considering the season, I've got reason to be sad But considering the man, I'm glad Ring the bells, and hang the mistletoe Find the carols on the radio Play 'em loud and now he can't say no I'm feelin' free 'cause it's just me this year Take the train to town and see the tree Get some shopping done, but just for me He told me diamonds are a luxury So I'll take three, 'cause it's just me this year I'm keeping plenty warm without him Never doubt it There's so much left to burn Asked the postman in the other snow That's my plumber playin' piano My French tutor made a chocolate chaud, qui vit ici Oh, it's just me this year The greatest gift I could receive You won't believe it Was just for him to leave A toboggan ride on dead man's curve That old chicken never had the nerve Finally, all the thrills that I deserve And possibly, eventually, I'll find another dear But it's just me this year
