On that first day of Christmas
When you gave me all them kisses
Boy, you showed me things
Come hold me, please, and never let me go
On that second day of Christmas
Said you felt like something’s missing
So you promised me that promise ring to keep ’til we get old, boy
On that third day of Christmas
We got all in our feelings
Said “I love you” and meant it, oh
On the fourth, we committed
Any time, he could get it
He’s the real one, I know it
Look at all the things my true love gave to me
My true love, my true love
You are my true love
Look at all the things my true love gave to me
My true love, my true love
You are my true love
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, oh-oh, ah-ah, ah-ah
You are my true love
On the fifth day of Christmas
You asked me what’s on my wish list
And I told you all I wanted was forever with my boo
After six days in your arms
I got that tattoo on my heart
‘Cause I’m your moonlight, you’re my star
Ain’t nothin’ shining more than you, boy
You completed the vision
Now I feel like I’m living
You’re so one in a million, oh-oh
I’m so glad we committed
Any time, he could get it
He’s the real one, I know it
Look at all the things my true love gave to me
My true love
You are my true love
You are my true love
Look at all the things my true love gave to me
(You are my true love)
My true love, my true love
You are my true love
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, oh-oh, ah-ah, ah-ah
You are my true love
