Verse 1
Shopping tills are ringing, Carol boys are singing, Jingle bells and have yourself a Merry Day. Moms and Dad's are wrapping, whilst their little girls are clapping, for their dreams are almost on their way.

Pre
Maybe this year, I'll get just what I want, or maybe It's just right here.

Chorus
Under the tree, under the lights where no-one can see, I give you my love, unravelled and free, I give you it all.

Verse 2
Let's lay down by the fire, dry our clothes off from the chill, let's drink mulled wine, and just resign from this overkill, Rockette's kick their legs up high and every show's on ice, let's stay home alone tonight, its no sacrifice.

Pre
Cos we don't make time, for a day in our lives, to just lay back and be

Chorus
Under the tree, Under the lights where no-one can see, I give you my love, unravelled and free, I give you it all, but don't buy me rocks, chocolates or candies in a box, just give me your lovin, all you got. That's all I want.

Bridge
Every day should be like this, It shouldn't be just one day of the year.

Chorus
Under the tree, under the lights where no-one can see, I give you my love, unravelled and free, I give you it all. but don't buy me rocks, chocolates or candies in a box,just give me your lovin, all you got. That's all I want.
