Merry Christmas, Number 10

🎵 Verse 1
It’s Christmas Eve, the lights are low,
You’re standin’ there with that mistletoe.
You’re smilin’ like you’ve got a plan,
Like you know you’re the gift, not the wrapping, man.
You said, “Baby, this year’s traditions
Ain’t exactly carved in stone…”
Then you laughed and shook your head,
Said, “Guess I’m the unlucky one alone.”

🎵 Pre-Chorus
You said, “Nine out of ten get lucky,
Feelin’ festive, feelin’ bold…”
Then you pointed at yourself like,
“Look at me — left out in the cold.”

🎵 Chorus
Merry Christmas, Number 10 —
You’re the one they always leave behind.
But don’t you worry, don’t you stress,
’Cause I got somethin’ else in mind.
Yeah, Merry Christmas, Number 10 —
It ain’t over till the night is through…
Who knows… by the time the bells ring,
You might move up to number two.

🎵 Verse 2
You’re sittin’ there all dramatic,
Like the world just did you wrong,
Checkin’ stats like it’s a sport
And you didn’t make the festive song.
“Why’s everyone else gettin’ lucky?”
You say with your little grin…
But the way you’re looking at me tonight —
Boy, your losing streak might end again.

🎵 Pre-Chorus
’Cause baby, I see that sparkle,
Peekin’ out behind those eyes…
And if you’re thinkin’ what I’m thinkin’,
You won’t need any stats to rise.

🎵 Chorus
Merry Christmas, Number 10 —
You’re the underdog of holiday cheer.
But don’t count yourself out yet, babe,
Your fortunes might change right here.
Yeah, Merry Christmas, Number 10 —
You might get more than you expect…
I can’t promise what the others gave,
But I can promise some respect.

🎵 Bridge
So don’t be sad, don’t be bitter,
Don’t be sittin’ there all blue…
’Cause Christmas night is long enough
For fortunes to change for you.
Maybe your number’s higher
Than you think it is tonight…
’Cause you’re lookin’ like you’re ready
For a little festive delight.

🎵 Final Chorus
Merry Christmas, Number 10 —
This year might just go your way.
You’re not out in the cold forever, babe —
Your luck could change today.
Yeah… Merry Christmas, Number 10 —
You might just win before we’re through…
’Cause if I’m feelin’ generous, babe…
I might move you up to number two.
