I wake up to the sunshine. Out my window. And the passin sound. Of a homeless man. Singin an ol Cole Porter song. . The faucet leaks. The TVs on the blink again.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Yuletide carols being sung by a choir. And folks dressed up like Eskimos. . Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe.

Intro:. No.. No.. They didn't believe me!. It's been a long time coming.. They can't tell me nothing.. Wonder why a nigga stuntin'. (& they wonder why I'm stuntin').
Everybody wants an easy ride. On the merry-go-round that we call life. Take your drive on cruise control. Then you wait to find out it's a winding road.

Look at me, I'm swingin' from the chandelier. Lately I'm a woman with no fear. I'm breaking free from these chains. From these chains that bind me. Anything that ties me down.
Hey hey hey yeah. Hey hey hey yeah. Hey hey hey yeah. . Well I can't lie from time to time I could use the wine from a girl's night;. Cabernet won't drown away the kind of day I've had..
He left me cryin' late one Sunday night outside of Boulder. He said he had to find himself out on the road. I guess when love goes wrong. You've gotta learn to be strong.
Lauralee, had a headache, I bet you know the feeling. Bangin' your head all day long against the glass ceiling. Lauralee, made her mind up, she had enough.
Oh, just hear those sleigh bells jinglin' ring-ting-tingling too. Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, "Yoo hoo".
Watched him comin' up Winslow. Down South Park Boulevard. Lookin' good from tail to hood. Great big fins and painted steel. Man, it looked just like the Batmobile.
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks. Dressed in holiday style. In the air there's a feeling of Christmas. . Children laughing, people passing. Meeting smile after smile.
Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright. Round yon virgin mother and child. Holy infant so tender and mild. . Sleep in Heavenly peace. Sleep in Heavenly peace.
Clean shirt, new shoes. And I dont know where I am goin to.. Silk suit, black tie,. I dont need a reason why.. They come runnin just as fast as they can.
I'm down on my knees, tryin' hard to find the answers;. And not for me, you know, it's for our little boy.. You see, his daddy was the hero of his life;.
Every week it comes round. With a feel like New Years Eve. Get dressed, de-stressed. Tonight I couldnt care less. Take a look at me. . So I put myself together.
I wouldn't call it a breakup. I hate to say it out loud, but I was just dumb. I thought we had something special. Just last night, I used the word "love".
One Love! One Heart!. Let's get together and feel all right.. Hear the children cryin' (One Love!);. Hear the children cryin' (One Heart!),. Sayin': give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;.
She sits in the dark. Quietly cursing him and this love. While she's rehearsing every line. She's gonna say when she walks away. On a wing and a prayer.
