But It's Not Christmas

lyrics

I'd like to place a bet coz I like the odds
I bet you someone's doing us wrong
But we are just so naïve and just let it go
Come on, tell me where Is the justice in that?



I'd like to think I didn't care
I'd like to think you weren't there

But it was written on the teachers whiteboard
I'd like to think they weren't right
I'd like to hope with all my might
That you were underneath the mistletoe that night

But it's not Christmas
But it's not Christmas
But it's not Christmas

Hey, hey I'm back again, I can't keep away
I got a great idea you're gonna love

But first tip the bottle back and let's drive back home
You better put your seatbelt on because…it's gonna be a bumpy ride

I'd like to think I didn't care
I'd like to think you weren't there
But it was written on the teacher's whiteboard
I'd like to think they weren't right
I'd like to hope with all my might
That you were underneath the mistletoe that night

I'm thinking of you in his arms again
Someone change the record it never ends

I'm singing 'bout you in his arms again (My house is, my house is on fire)
I'm leaving this town and I don't care when (My house is, my house is on fire)

I'm thinking of you in his arms again
Someone change the record it never ends
I'm singing 'bout you in his arms again
I'm leaving this town and I don't care when

I'd like to think I…

I'd like to think you weren't there

But it was written on the teacher's whiteboard

I'd like to think they were not right
I'd like to hope with all my might
That you were underneath the mistletoe that night

I'd like to think I didn't care
I'd like to think you weren't there
But it was written on the teacher's whiteboard
I'd like to think they were not right
I'd like to hope with all my might
That you were underneath the mistletoe that night
