Merry Christmas!

lyrics

All I want for Christmas is a divorce,
I can't keep riding this same old horse,
my life's banquet needs a new course,
all I want for Christmas is a divorce.

Dear Santa, I want a divorce decree,
a piece of parchment to set me free,
my midlife crisis is agony,
Dear Santa, I want a divorce decree.

I long to live life on my own,
at long last the kids are grown,
to fickle chance my dice are thrown,
I long to live life on my own.

The time has come to say goodbye,
no need to curse, no cause to cry,
you cannot say I didn’t try,
The time has come to say goodbye.

So Dear Santa set me free,
for we were just not meant to be,
put a pardon under my tree,
So Dear Santa set me free,.

And it’s not your business, priest,
if I trade a famine for a feast,
and have some joy, at last, at least,
it’s not your Goddamned business, priest.
