[Verse 1]
You tiptoed down the stairs at 7:35
I knew exactly what was running through your mind
Right there beside the tree, under the mistletoe
You said it's over and I hit the road

[Chorus]
Why did we have to break up on Christmas?
Why did we have to wait all damn year?
I could've crossed off all of your wishlist
Saved me a whole lot of money and tears
That necklace for your mom, golf clubs for your dad
BarkBox for your dog, now, that one's not so bad (Bad)
I could've put the mall out of business
If we didn't wait to break up on Christmas

[Verse 2]
If it was Halloween, hell, even July 4th
Out in the pouring rain or love-drunk on your porch
I would've been just fine, okay, fine's not the word
But on the 25th, it sure does hurt

[Chorus]
Why did we have to break up on Christmas?
Why did we have to wait all damn year?
I could've crossed off all of your wishlist
Saved me a whole lot of money and tears
That necklace for your mom, golf clubs for your dad
BarkBox for your dog, now, that one's not so bad (Bad)
I could've put the mall out of business
If we didn't wait to break up on Christmas
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

[Bridge]
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Why'd you have to go and wreck my favorite holiday? Hey

[Chorus]
Why did we have to break up on Christmas?
Why did we have to wait all damn year?
I could've crossed off all of your wishlist
Saved me a whole lot of money and tears
That necklace for your mom, golf clubs for your dad
BarkBox for your dog, now, that one's not so bad (Bad)
I could've put the mall out of business
If we didn't wait to break up on Christmas
