Christmas is not all it's cracked up to be
Families fighting around a plastic tree
Nothing on the TV that you'd want to see

And it's hardly ever snowing the way it's meant to be
Like in white Christmas year after year
Bing Crosby, Bring Crosby, are you listening to me?

It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
Because I'll be with you

The Christmas message was long ago lost
Now it's all about shopping and how much things cost
It's meant to be goodwill as well as synthetic fun
And what this is this year's festive number one

It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
Because I'll be with you

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Oh, my girl, my girl

My girl's mad at me
I didn't wanna see the film tonight
I found it hard to say
She thought I'd had enough of her

Oh, my girl

My girl's mad at me
Been on the telephone for an hour
We hardly said a word
I tried and tried but I could not be heard

Why can't she see
She's lovely to me?
But I like to stay in
And watch TV on my own
Every now and then

My girl's mad at me
Been on the telephone for an hour
We hardly said a word
I tried and tried but I could not be heard

Why can't I explain?
Why do I feel this pain?
'Cause everything I say
She doesn't understand
She doesn't realize
She takes it all the wrong way

My girl's mad at me
We argued just the other night
I thought wed got it straight
We talked and talked until it was light

I thought we'd agreed
I thought we'd talked it out
Now when I try to speak
She says that I don't care
She says I'm unaware
And now she says I'm weak

Why can't she see
She's lovely to me?
But I like to stay in
And watch TV on my own
Every now and then

Oh, my girl, my girl
Oh, my girl, my girl
Oh, my girl
She's always mad at me

Why can't she see
She's lovely to me?
But I like to stay in
And watch TV on my own
Every now and then

She's always mad at me
She's always mad at me
Oh, my girl, my girl

It's something, that look in your eyes tonight
Like magic, it's changing everything in sight
I hear it all around me every day
In the music that you play

This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world
This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world

The night sky, like velvet, masks our eyes tonight
And falling, reveals the sun rise and ignite
We feel it all around us every day
In the music that we play

This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world
This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world
This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world

It's sincere and subjective
Superficial and true
Easy and predictable
Exciting and new
to say 'I want you'

This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world
This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world

Playing all over the world
Playing all over the world

(All day, all day)

I don't know why, I don't know how
I thought I loved you but I'm not sure now
I've seen you look at strangers too many times
A love you once is of a, a different kind

Remember when we felt the sun
A love like paradise, how hot it burned
A threat of distant thunder, the sky was red
And when you walked, you always turned every head

(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing

I thought that when we fought I was to blame
But now I know you play a different game
I've watched you dance with danger, still wanting more
Add another number to the score

(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing

When you look around you wonder
Do you play to win?
Or are you just a bad loser?

(All day, all day)
(All day, all day)

I don't know why, I don't know how
I'd thought I loved you, but I'm not sure now
Hear the thunder crashing, the sky is dark
And now a storm is breaking within my heart

(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing

(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing

(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
Domino dancing
(All day, all day)
Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)
