lyrics

I'm single in December and now that I remember how much it sucks
I try to erase those 31 days from my google calendar but my iphone overrode me
Apple Corporation must really hate single people

Those damn boyscouts again
Christmas tree fundraiser, they've suckered me in
but without another person it should come as no surprise
that when loading my tree that bungee snapped me in the eye

In this wannabe socialist state where everyone in need finds a place
what would it take to pay a couple hundred bureaucrats
to set up a system
ten percent efficient
take care of my needs, oh Mass mother
and give me

A state issued lover
helps me get through December
I need a state issued lover
just like every other that comes and goes

Oh you could take me to the movies or just watch TV
or if you're totally desperate, a date at the DMV
Forget all those parties where we'd rather not be
my half-hearted partner and me
or we could play checkers by the fireside
drinking eggnog and shots until you say goodnight
and when you get up to go you lean in for that drunk kiss
and we both kinda miss
but that's all right
No illusions of grandeur about the government standard
state-insignificant other
cuz he's just

my state issued lover...

And when January comes and we go our separate ways
fill out our online forms so the bureaucrats get paid
I'll let the government know that you'd been totally great
though I wouldn't go out past our expiration date
And as you say goodbye you hand me that gift
so thoughtfully found on my Amazon wish list
a Brookstone back massager
cuz I won't get touched no more
by my state-issued lover
