No Happy Holiday

Mary J. sings the blues
Like she peeked inside
As I listen to the tunes
"Ain't No Happy Holiday"

The words fill me up
Leaving my color blue
Cause ain't no happy holiday
If I can't spend it with you.

New Year's spent alone
Thanksgiving through the phone
A Christmas drive by
Valentine's had to fly

Your birthday was spent mad
My birthday was spent sad
Easter just hopped…
This shyt has got to stop!

Your family has never met me
And you barely met mine
"No Happy Holiday"
"No Happy Holiday"

Through the rest of the year
In a cycle that just won't quit
Can't fast forward…
Wish I could blink pass this

On two different paths
With two different goals
Our new communication style
Is better left untold

Maybe next lifetime
Or on another day
I won't be saying…
No Happy Holiday.
