It's the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets, spreadin' so much cheer
I should be playin' in the winter snow, but I'ma be under the mistletoe
I don't wanna miss out on the holiday, but I can't stop starin' at your face
I should be playin' in the winter snow, but I'ma be under the mistletoe

With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you, under the mistletoe

Everyone's gatherin' around the fire
Chestnuts roastin' like a hot July
I should be chillin' with my folks I know, but I'ma be under the mistletoe
Word on the street Santa's comin' tonight
Reindeer flyin' through the sky so high
I should be makin' a list I know, but I'ma be under the mistletoe

With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you, under the mistletoe
With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you, under the mistletoe

Aye love, the Wisemen follow the star, the way I follow my heart
And it lead me to a miracle, hey love
Don't ya buy me nothin', 'cause I am feelin' one thing
Your lips on my lips, that's a merry merry Christmas

It's the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets, spreadin' so much cheer
I should be playin' in the winter snow, but I'ma be under the mistletoe
I don't wanna miss out on the holiday, but I can't stop starin' at your face
I should be playin' in the winter snow, but I'ma be under the mistletoe

With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you, under the mistletoe oh yeah
With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you, yeah under the mistletoe

Kiss me underneath the mistletoe, show me baby that you love me so oh oh
Oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah
Kiss me underneath the mistletoe, show me baby that you love me so oh oh
Oh oh oh
