I know I've been a real bad guy,
my name's made the list more than a few times
You could light up a candle for every mistake that I've made
and I'd follow them home with you
on a pity parade
For years and years I pushed you aside, but never again
Wrap me up like a present and put me away
and when it gets cold I'll be yours
Let the bells ring on a fool's holiday
I swear that I'm more than just broken promises,
decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon so
Do not open 'til you've got forever to spend
with me on a fool's holiday
I've always lived too selfishly,
nobody's perfect babe, but I never tried to be
So every second I've poisoned and all of the minutes you spent on me
I'd give my whole life's worth of hours to fix what I broke in the first place
For years and years I pushed you aside, but never again so
Wrap me up like a present and put me away,
and when it gets cold I'll be yours
Let the bells ring on a fool's holiday
I swear that I'm more than just broken promises,
decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon so
Do not open 'til you've got forever to spend
with me on a fool's holiday
D * A * G *
Tie me in ribbons and put me away,
know that I'll always be yours
A * G *
Wrap me up like a present and put me away,
and when it gets cold I'll be yours
Let the bells ring on a fool's holiday
I swear that I'm more than just broken promises,
decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon so
Do not open 'til you've got forever to spend with me, oh
Do not open 'til you've got forever to spend
with me on a fool's holiday
