Lyrics

Secret Santa can be such a burden
Depends who you draw might be a bad person
And everyone wants to know which person you have

The person I have is not cheesy
The person I have isn’t greedy
Some people are bad But not the person I have

I have you! I must confess
It’s you! I must impress
I have you! No need to guess
I have you I have you I have you!

When we drew names I wanted nearly none of them
I wished for you then, I wish for you often
I hope you would be the person I’d have
Back in July I started saving
Set dollars aside, in anticipation
It pleased me to think you might be the person I have

I have you! I won the lottery
I have you! The Lord heard my pleas
I have you! Just wait til you see
you you you !!

Like Bruce Springsteen sang to his friend oh so long ago
We like the same music. We like the same clothes.

I have you! Got you just the gift
I have you! I think we’ll soon kiss
I have you I have you I have you!

The person I have doesn’t inflect her voice
The person I have is steady and poised.
Some people just brag but not the person I have.

The person I have deserves no gift card
Won’t get a scarf mittens or a leotard
She don’t go for any that jazz, this person I have…

I have you! I’ll show you how I feel
I have you! You make me rock and reel.
I have you! We’re gonna get a meal ..
It’s you you you!

I have you! The Lord heard my wish
I have you! You’re all my list
I have you! We’re gonna kiss
I have you I have you I have you!
