Lyrics

(This Year) JUST GIVE ME LOVE

music TOM ADAMS, lyrics ROB MEURER

IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME
THE WAITING'S THROUGH
WE'LL HAND OUT PRESENTS LIKE WE ALWAYS DO
AND IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHAT I'D LIKE FROM YOU
THIS YEAR JUST GIVE ME LOVE

I DON'T NEED BOOKS
I DON'T WANT SHOES
NO HIGH-TECH GADGETS THAT I'LL ONLY LOSE
SO GIVE ME SOMETHING I CAN REALLY USE
THIS YEAR JUST GIVE ME LOVE

TELL MISTER CLAUS HE CAN TAKE A PAUSE
I'M UP TO MY EARS IN "STUFF"
BUT YOU COULD KEEP ME ROCKING IF YOU'D FILL MY STOCKING
WITH THE THING I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF
THAT'S YOUR SWEET LOVE

NO RITZY WRAP WITH FANCY BOWS
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON DESIGNER CLOTHES
AND PLEASE NO SCHWARTZENEGGER VIDEOS FOR ME
YOU SEE
WHEN IT COMES TO CHRISTMAS CHEER
THIS YEAR JUST GIVE ME LOVE

I HAVE NO NEED FOR HERBAL TEAS
I DON'T USE HOITY-TOITY TOILETRIES
FORGET THAT BASKET OF DISGUSTING* CHEESE
THIS YEAR JUST GIVE ME LOVE

DON'T NEED NEW SOCKS
DON'T BUY ME SWEATS
I'VE GOT THE SHOSTAKOVITCH STRING QUARTETS
I QUIT THE BOURBON AND THE CIGARETTES
SO PLEASE JUST GIVE ME LOVE

DON'T GET ME WRONG HONEY ALL YEAR LONG
I TREASURE THOSE GIFTS YOU GIVE
BUT THEN IT STANDS TO REASON IN THE YULETIDE SEASON
I SHOULD CRAVE THAT LOVE THAT I LIVE FOR
AND NOTHING MORE

COME CHRISTMAS DAY THE BELLS WILL RING
THE KIDS WILL GIGGLE AND THE CHOIR WILL SING
AND THERE'S NO WAY I'LL NEED A DOGGONE THING BUT YOU
IT'S TRUE

IT SEEMS LIKE YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN KISSED
SO SCRATCH THAT FRUITCAKE OFF YOUR LIST
AND LET ME MAKE MY WISHES CRYSTAL CLEAR
MY DEAR
FOR THAT FESTIVE ATMOSPHERE
THIS YEAR JUST GIVE ME LOVE
LOVE
"It's the perfect Christmas gift!"
LOVE
"Not available in stores!"
JUST GIVE ME LOVE
