Or does she already own way too many scarves? I could get her a backpack and something to carry This is way too much pressure it’s breaking my heart Wo-oh-oh-oe is me Wo-oh-oe is me CHORUS: I’m ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift But I haven’t found it yet ’Cause I don’t have a clue what to get you So I’ll give you my heart I wander around the store again and again But all I do is shrug ’Cause I don’t have a clue what to get you And I’m ready to say "Bah humbug"! Bah bah bah bah - bah humbug Bah-bah-bah-bah VERSE: I could get her a gift card to Olive Garden But what if Red Lobster is way more her thing? I don’t even know Well how ’bout a bike or like a ukelele? Or how ’bout I jump out the window? Window window window window Yeah how ’bout I jump out the window? Window window window window Singing ’Joy to the World’ face down in the snow! CHORUS: I’m ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift But I haven’t found it yet ’Cause I don’t have a clue what to get you So I’ll give you my heart I hope it’ll do I wander around the store again and again But all I do is shrug ’Cause I don’t have a clue what to get you And I’m ready to say BREAK: I’ll wrap myself in paper and sit under the tree ’Cause the best gift I can give you Is this heart inside of me! INSTRUMENTAL: CHORUS: I’m ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift But I ain’t found it yet ’Cause I don’t have a clue what to get you So I’ll give you my heart I hope it’ll do I wander around the store again and again But all I do is shrug ’Cause I don’t have a clue what to get you And I’m ’bout ready to say "Bah humbug!" OUTRO: Sor-or-ry for the hand towels! Bah humbug! Sor-or-ry for the Yankee candles! Bah humbug! Sorry for all this useless junk! The best gift I have to give Is my lo-ove (Huh. I hate shopping)

La chanson évoque le stress et la pression souvent associés à la période des fêtes. L'interprète se sent accablé par l'idée de choisir le cadeau parfait et hésite sur ce qui ferait réellement plaisir à l'autre personne. En fin de compte, il réalise que le meilleur cadeau qu’il puisse offrir, c'est son cœur, un geste simple et sincère, en contraste avec les doutes et difficultés liés aux cadeaux matériels. Le contexte de la chanson semble se situer durant la période de Noël, où la magie des flocons de neige est entachée par l'angoisse des achats et des attentes. On y ressent un mélange de frustration et d’amour, soulignant ainsi ce qui compte vraiment à cette saison : les relations humaines et les sentiments authentiques, plus que des objets.
