I wanna open my present
Look at it rapped up in little big bones
Back up tight just waiting for me
To rip it open and set it free
Relieve my state
I just can't wait
I wanna open my present
Well I'm a good boy, I behave myself
I've been patient and waiting so long
But waiting any longer it just feels wrong
I know it's great, I just can't wait
It's right in front of me
I can't stop thinking about it
What's the harm in letting me
Go no longer, living without it
I wanna open my present
Well I've been working too hard for too long
Say my prayers and getting my sleep
Been here quiet, not making a peep
I know it's great, I just can't wait
It's right in front of me
I can't stop thinking about it
What's the harm in letting me
Go no longer, living without it
I wanna open my present
Look at it rapped up in little big bones
Back up tight just waiting for me
Rip it open and set it free
Relieve my state
I just can't wait
