All I Want For Christmas Is What I Can't Take Back

from Have Yourself A Very Little Christmas by Love Axe

/

about

From the 2008 Suburban Sprawl Music Holiday Sampler.

lyrics

If I could ask for just this one favor
I'd probably pass on presents and paper
'cause this don't wrapped
and nothing gets tailored quite so

instead of a gift, I would quit stalling
undo what I did and make every promise
'cause I do have a conscience
it only comes calling way too late

the dreams that I have
are wonderful until I wake up at last
and realize that I have no course of action
how stupid to think that I should!

I was so worried about what I was getting
there wasn't that much left to give
you deserve more than that unpublished poetry
and I deserve to have it read

the irony held in this confession
is you're not alone in deserving explanation
but I get just one song
on this compilation each year

and the one you now love
I hope he is careful and capable of
nothing so terrible as I once was
it would be so unbearable, dear
