Lyrics
It’s that time of the year

Shopping spree galore

But we won’t write our lists

We want nothing more

We don’t need our Christmas to be fancy

We don’t need any gifts under our tree

Let’s keep it simple this year

We don’t need wrapping paper

Unless you wanna wrap yourself up

But I’d rather wrap you up

In my arms

In my arms

I’d rather wrap you up in my arms

Santa can skip this house

We will be just fine

All I ever wanted

Is already mine

We don’t need our Christmas to be fancy

We don’t need any gifts under our tree

Let’s keep it simple this year

We don’t need wrapping paper

Unless you wanna wrap yourself up

But I’d rather wrap you up

In my arms

In my arms

I’d rather wrap you up in my arms

You’re the gift that keeps on giving

Oh Every day

With you feels like the beginning

Can’t stay away

We don't need wrapping paper

Unless you wanna wrap yourself up,

but I'd rather wrap you up

in my arms

in my arms

I'd rather wrap you up in my arms
