Ifs And Buts

I worked seven days a week and eighteen a day
Just working my fingers to the bone
I worked so hard I guess I pushed her away
So now I'm going out all alone
Well you know I miss my honey but I really love the money
And I wish she didn't go away
If she was here right now I'd have a few things to say

If only I tried to make things work
If only I hadn't been such a jerk
Maybe I wouldn't be this way
But I didn't and I was and that's the price I pay
If only I tried to come around
Well it might have kept that never-ending bar tab down
But if Ifs and buts was candy and nuts
We'd all have a merry Christmas

Now I don't have a date an I'm always late
It's just another day on the grind
I spend my days letting my mind wander
To the time when she was mine
Well my boss says "Son, you're a hell of a worker
And I like you don't you know
But if you can't get to work on time
I'm gonna have to let you go"

If only I tried to get to work
If only my boss wasn't such a jerk
Maybe I wouldn't be this way
But I didn't and he is and that's the price I pay
If only I tried to come around
Well it might have kept that never ending bar tab down
But if ifs and buts was candy and nuts
We'd all have a merry Christmas

If only I tried to make things work
If only I hadn't been such a jerk
Maybe I wouldn't be this way
But I didn't and I was and that's the price I pay
If only that woman would have stuck around
Well it might have kept that never ending bar tab down
But if ifs and buts was candy and nuts
We'd all have a merry Christmas

Yeah if ifs and buts was candy and nuts
We'd all have a merry Christmas
