It’s fine you stole my lighter, smoked my last cigarette
Thanks for spilling coffee all across my lap
Glad you grabbed three donuts when I didn’t have one yet
And I didn’t get you anything

Didn’t think twice when you asked if you could use the car
Got a ticket in Tallahassee bless your little heart
Towed it back to Nashville now it won’t even start
And I didn’t get you anything

You’re the sweetest, you’re the kindest, you’re the icing on the cake
Wanna’ shout it from the rooftop, hallelujah you’re so great
If they’re taking nominations I got yours right here
Presenting Person Of The Year

All my prayers were answered when you stopped by unannounced
Brought your dirty laundry then threw up on the couch
Must have stepped in something ‘cuz you tracked it through the house
And I didn’t get you anything

It was perfect that you microwaved my hash when you were high
Flushed a pair of tube socks and clogged up all the pipes
Really no big deal we can’t have anything that’s nice
And I didn’t get you anything

You’re terrific, you’re the finest, you’re sweet potato pie
Wanna’ yell it from the mountain, you’re the apple of my eye
If they’re taking nominations I got yours right here
Presenting Person Of The Year

Wonder how I’ll ever show my gratitude
Repay good deeds like yours
No thank you cards, no Sunday brunch, that’s not enough for you
This calls for so much more

You’re fantastic, you’re so awesome, you’re the dumpling in the soup
Wanna’ sing it in the shower, there’s no one quite like you
If they’re taking nominations I got yours right here
