[Intro]
It's not Christmas, no-oh-oh
It's not Christmas, no-oh-oh
It's not Christmas till somebody cries
(Ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho)

[Verse 1]
Everybody made it home for Christmas Eve
Tried to keep it cool around the Christmas tree
But every year we sing a little song to survive, that
It's not Christmas till somebody cries
My boyfriend is a vegan, so they fed him fish
My uncle made it worse by talking politics
I had a few opinions, might have started a fight, well
It's not Christmas till somebody cries

[Chorus]
It's not Christmas
Till we all break down in tears
It's not Christmas (No-oh-oh)
It's the best time of the year

[Verse 2]
Grandpa ate the gummies that we meant to hide
We tried to play it off like it's a holiday high
He unwrapped all the presents and he ruined the surprise, well
It's not Christmas till somebody–
Breaks into an argument, ooh, I used to fight it (Oh, oh, oh)
We get emotional too, I won't deny it (Oh, oh, oh)
I used to hide in my room, but now I like it
'Cause it's not Christmas till somebody cries

[Chorus]
It's not Christmas (No-oh-oh)
Till we all break down in tears
It's not Christmas (No-oh-oh)
It's the best time of the year

[Post-Chorus]
It's not Christmas
(Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)
Till somebody cries
(Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)
Till somebody cries

[Bridge]
Waking up too early in my childhood bed
The nieces and the nephews jumping on my head
They keep on asking questions like, "Is Santa a lie?", well
It's not Christmas till somebody cries

[Outro]
It's not Christmas, no-oh-oh
It's not Christmas, no-oh-oh (Have a holly jolly)
The secret is to sing a little song to survive, that
It's not Christmas till somebody cries (Till somebody cries)
No, it's not Christmas till somebody cries (No, it's not Christmas)
It's not Christmas till somebody cries
(Ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Back in late-October, Carly Rae Jepsen, forever ahead of the game, dropped a new Christmas song while the everyone was busy sweatin’ trick or treaters. It’s called “It’s Not Christmas Till Somebody Cries”, and the upbeat disco-pop tune tackled all those time-honored yule-tide traditions, like political arguments at the dinner table, a family’s poor response to meeting a new boyfriend/girlfriend, and grandparents on edibles.

The bubbly track just demanded the music video treatment, and now we have it, as the Canadian pop dynamo drops a proper visual this week. The clip was directed by Josh Forbes; watch it below.  

“I love the old-fashioned movies and the family traditions and the excitement of gifting presents and decorating the tree and and and… my list is endless,” says Jepsen. “But each year the pressure to have the perfect Christmas always ends in tears. I call it Christmas versus expectation.”

We feel that. She adds: “Christmas holiday is my favorite time of year. I love it. But so often emotions run high and expectation versus reality is something I’d like to shed some light on and hopefully some laughs, too, in the process. So if you are lucky enough to get to be with the ones that matter most to you this year — embrace it! And if things go south just remember, ‘the secret is to sing a little song to survive… that it’s not Christmas till somebody cries!’”

Grab the Kleenex and beware: That edible ain’t shit right now, but it’ll kick in as soon as mom serves your vegan lover some fish.
