Late night, gotta do the wrapping
Running out of tape
You know how to always get me laughin'
And why you such a babe?

How is this my life? Keep wondering if it's true
I just can't believe, there's someone like you

When it's cold outside put your arms around me
And we'll countdown to December twentyfive 
I think all I got you 'cause you're all that I need
Under the Christmas lights
Baby you and I
Under the Christmas lights

Don't need mistletoe for kissing
Get over here and play
Let's start, making some traditions
And be my holiday

When it's cold outside put your arms around me
And we'll countdown to December twentyfive 
I think all I got you 'cause you're all that I need
Under the Christmas lights
Baby you and I
Under the Christmas lights

How is this my life? Keep wondering if it's true
I just can't believe, there's someone like you

When it's cold outside put your arms around me
And we'll countdown to December twentyfive 
I think all I got you 'cause you're all that I need
Under the Christmas lights
Baby you and I
Under the Christmas lights
