lyrics

The mall is overrun by folks
every store a different Christmas song
Taylor Swift, Forever 21
SportChek has got Mariah on
For the gal who has everything
that’s what the sign says
it doesn’t make sense
when all we really need is love, it’s true
but don’t say it at the marketing meeting
I ain’t leaving this mall defeated
‘cause what I’m giving you is compliments of the season

Love is what you get
‘cause love is what you need
Feels so good to give
feels good to receive

Out on the ocean floats a plastic pile
made of last year’s Christmas stuff
Santa sees it when he flies above
under his breath he says enough’s enough
He brings the little kids what they want
but if you can vote he leaves you a note
saying "the gift of love is yours
and you can have as much as you can hold,
share it with your neighbours and your honey
it’s worth way more than an infinity of money"

Love is what you get
‘cause love is what you need
Feels so good to give
feels good to receive

Love is what you get
Love is what you get
Love is what you get

Arm and arm we sing by the fire
as our worries go up in smoke
we all found our heart of gold
and nobody’s ever gonna go broke

Love is what you get (you don’t need nothing)
‘cause love is what you need (nothing more than love)
Feels so good to give (you don’t need nothing)
feels good to receive (nothing more than love)

Love is what you get
‘cause love is what you need (nothing more than love)
Feels so good to give
feels good to receive (you don’t need nothing)

Love is what you get (nothing more than love)
‘cause love is what you need (nothing more than love)
Feels so good to give (feels good to receive)
feels good to receive

It’s really hard to pick a favorite track because every single one is superb! DULY NOTED has become one of my favorite new releases of 2021. I can’t recommend TUNS enough! Danny Cavazzi
