The stockings were hung by the fireside  The tree was all dressed and a-glow  But when you came home  You were not alone  Two sets of footsteps in the snow  You said, "Guess who's coming for Christmas!"  You said that you knew I'd be cool  He had no place to go  How could I say no?  But man, can your kindness be cruel...  Because I just wanted Christmas together  Christmas together with you  But you and that man  You shattered my plans  You painted my white Christmas blue  Now he sits in my chair by the TV  He's drinking my beer like a friend  But the jokes that you share...  Guess you had to be there  And I never knew you back then  I know you go way back together  You're not one to move on too fast  But I feel like a jerk  Because I’m sharing my turkey  With the ghost of your Christmases past  Because I just wanted Christmas together  Christmas together with you  But you and that man  You shattered my plans  You painted my white Christmas blue  By the port and cigars  It had all gone too far  Yeah and what I said next I regret (a bit) So you left with a curse  But that ain't the worst  It's New Year's -that guy - he ain’t left yet! And I just wanted Christmas together - (alone)  Darling, please answer my call  Come back today  And send him away  Cause darlin’, he's your Dad, after all  And I just wanted Christmas together  Christmas together with you  But you and that man  You shattered my plans  You painted my white Christmas blue  And I just wanted Christmas with you
