The holidays just seem better    When you’ve found yourself    In the right weather    This year it’s looking like never    Because I’m all alone    It’s been forever    Since I last heard your voice    But now I really don’t    Need you with me    The only present I want    Is for you not to show up    At my door       This is a holiday, baby    That I don’t need you here, with me    And this is my time of year, and I    I just don’t need you here, baby       I’ll find time for the presents    For my mom and dad    Cause I love them    And I’ll find time for my cousins    Because I owe them now    And cause I can    Do what I want to do    But my plans don’t    Involve you    But your gift’s always welcome    I could never say no    That would be harsh       This is a holiday, baby    That I don’t need you here, with me    And this is my time of year, and I    I just don’t need you here, baby       Every night alone I’ve spent    Thinkin’ of what to buy you this year    I don’t know what you want    Maybe I don’t need you this year    That’s one less gift to buy    Saving money for grandma’s present    I think its time that we say goodbye    Because grandma really needs those breath mints!       This is a holiday, baby    That I don’t need you here, with me    And this is my time of year, and I    I just don’t need you here, baby       Its Merry Christmas time, baby    No mistletoe for you, with me    Gifts from my mom and dad, and I    I just don’t need you here
