Carol Morelli acts on the tele, she's 21
Yeah we've been going steady since eyes locked back a few months
She's headed west soon, Hollywood prospect, she's gotta move
Asks me to come with, but I don't commit, say it's too soon
Mrs. Claus, the one that got away
My planted feet, they took no leap of faith
I sat on my hands and watched
The girl of my dreams leave that day
I should've put her on a pedestal
'Cause young Saint Nick, he put her on his sleigh
This is what happened, quick with her talent earned a big role
Holiday movie filming outside up near the North Pole
She bought a coffee, bumped into Santa inside the shop
Of course he wooed her
How could he not with those cheeks and that charm?
Mrs. Claus, the one that got away
My planted feet, they took no leap of faith
I sat on my hands and watched
The girl of my dreams leave that day
I should've put her on a pedestal
'Cause young Saint Nick, he put her on his sleigh
Carol, are you coming back?
Carol, are you coming back?
Carol, it's a heart attack
Lighting up a tree, when you're far from me
Now every Christmas I get a lump of coal in my throat
Can't even write a list 'cause I'd just ask him for his girl
So this is Christmas thinking of what I wish I'd done
Yearly reminder, seeing her film on my television
Mrs. Claus, the one that got away
Mrs. Claus, the one that got away
