He has not put up a tree since he can remember when
But he's not one of those Christmas hating men
Every season he would spoil those who meant the most to him
Now the Christmas spirit's just a ghost to him
He says he was born to give, but there's no one to receive
Too bad everybody chose to leave
He has no one to buy gifts for anymore
No one to save every penny for
He gave the best gifts, that is what so many swore
But he has no one to buy gifts for anymore
He doesn't mind that he's alone, he's been keeping safe and sound
But it gets to him when Christmas rolls around
He has no one to buy gifts for anymore
No one to save every penny for
He gave the best gifts, that is what so many swore
But he has no one to buy gifts for anymore
All he does now brings him no joy and no pride
Is giving the super a card with a little cash inside
He has no one to buy gifts for anymore
