Why’d You Ruin Christmas Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to love some Santa Claus
Stringin' lights and deckin' halls
Never met a sugar cookie I didn't like
Silver bells ringalin', Bing Crosby singing anythin'
'Til you left and now blue Christmas
Cuts me like a knife

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Why'd you have to go and ruin Christmas?
Now I ain't even putting up a tree
I hate to say it, but I really miss us
Why'd you ruin Christmas, Christmas for me?

[Verse 2]
Reruns of A Wonderful Life
Is exactly how I feel tonight
Got the Hallmark channel blocked on my TV
You had Halloween, St. Patrick's Day
To play those little games you play
Why'd you screw the one you knew
Would mean the most to me?

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Why'd you have to go and ruin Christmas?
Now I ain't even putting up a tree
I hatе to say it, but I really miss us
Why'd you ruin Christmas, Christmas for me?
[Bridge]
I hope you еat some yellow snow
I hope you choke on mistletoe
And I sure hope baby Jesus
Someday saves your soul
Oh-oh-ooh

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Why'd you have to go and ruin Christmas?
Now I ain't even putting up a tree, yeah
I hate to say it, but I really miss us
Why'd you ruin Christmas, Christmas for me?

[Outro]
Yeah
But why'd you ruin Christmas, Christmas for me?
Oh, for me
Have a holly jolly flip the birdy Christmas to me
And to all, a good night!
