The middle of December ain't the time to be alone It's just too close to Christmas And too far to go home I ran in to a friend of a friend Standing in checkout line She said, I've spent too much already And there's gifts I just can't find I walked her home and when she opened up her door I'm not sure what happened then Guess magic took it's course Blame it on the mistletoe 'Cause what happened here nobody knows How could something simple as a kiss Change my holiday like this And we held each other all night long And we fell asleep to a Christmas song Playin' on the radio Blame it on the mistletoe I woke up, she was wrappin' gifts beneath the tree She said, I know it's early, so I thought I'd let you sleep Then she insisted I get up and take a look outside Hey sleepyhead, it must have snowed at least a foot last night That's when I saw it hangin' up above my head She threw her arms around my neck Laughin' as she said Blame it on the mistletoe 'Cause what happened here nobody knows How could something simple as a kiss Change my holiday like this And we held each other all night long And we fell asleep to a Christmas song Playin' on the radio Blame it on the mistletoe
