Mistletoe
Justin Bieber · NRJ Music Awards 2012 [2011]
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I'mma be under the mistletoe
I don't wanna miss out on the holiday
But I can't stop staring at your face
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I'mma be under the mistletoe
With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you under the mistletoe
Everyone's gathering around the fire
Chestnuts roastin' like a hot July
I should be chillin' with my folks I know
But I'mma be under the mistletoe
Word on the street Santa's coming tonight
Reindeer's flying through the sky so high
I should be making a list, I know
But I'mma be under the mistletoe
With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you under the mistletoe (x2)
Ay love
The wisemen followed a star
The way I followed my heart
And it led me to a miracle, ay love
Don't you buy me nothing (don't you buy me nothing)
'Cuz I am feeling one thing
Your lips on my lips
That's a merry, merry Christmas
It's the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I'mma be under the mistletoe
I don't wanna miss out on the holiday
But I can't stop staring at your face
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I'mma be under the mistletoe
With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you under the mistletoe (x2)
Kiss me underneath the mistletoe
Show me baby that you love me so
Oh oh oh oh
Kiss me underneath the mistletoe
(Kiss me under the mistletoe)
Show me baby that you love me so
Oh oh oh oh
