Maybe next year you'll remember
That I don't like it when you leave
Maybe next year I'll forgive you
For all the grief you've given me
I don't need you around at Christmas
To remind me of my mistakes
I don't need you around at Christmas
So make my present you disappearing
Maybe next year will be different
And I will have you to myself
Maybe next year I won't need you
And I'll be blessed with perfect health
I don't need you around at Christmas
To open all my advent doors
I don't need you around at Christmas
What's mine is yours
And what's yours is yours
Maybe next year we will be happy
And all our friends will come to say
You look like you've had a good Christmas
But I won't give anything away
That we sat here and had nothing to say
Maybe next year I'll be single
And have no one to share it with
Maybe next year I'll be sorry
For telling you just how it is
I don't need you around at Christmas
To tell me that I have done it wrong
I don't need you around at Christmas
To tell me how much you hate this song
I don't need you around at Christmas
So please leave me alone
