Well, I've got a friend
Who lives across town
Every year when Christmas rolls around
He gives me my Christmas presents in a paper sack
Two hours later he wants it back
He's an Indian Giver!
I ran to my momma I was hollerin' and crying
She sent me to my poppa and I ain't lying
He gave me some advice,
It sounded all right
But you know that he took it back later that night
He's an Indian Giver!
Gonna write Santy Claus a valentine
Please Santy Claus won't you be mine?
When you bring around the presents in a 'leven foot sack
Please Mr. Santy don't take 'em back!
Don't be no Indian Giver!
Jim: Santa, is it really you?
Santa: Why, yes
Jim: I've been waiting for you all night, and look at all these presents! Are they for me, Santa?
Santa: HO HO hooold on a minute now boy. I done check my list twice and you don't get no presents
Jim: What list? Don't tell me you're takin' them back!
Santa: How 'bout this nice lump of coal?
Jim: Don't tell me you're an indian giver!
Jim: (cries)
Santa: HO HO HO
Jim: Not Santa

I Can Still Remember
It Wasn't Long Ago
Things You Used To Tell Me
You Said I Had To Know
Told Me That You Loved Me
And That You Always Would
Then I Said I Loved You
You Said That That Was Good
Girl, You Made A Promise
Said You'd Never Want Me To Go
Oh No!

Indian Giver, Indian Giver
You Took Your Love Away From Me
Indian Giver, Indian Giver
Took Back The Love You Gave To Me

Baby, I Was Feeling
The Way I Want To Feel
You Had Me Believing
The Love We Had Was Real
Things We Did Together
You Said They'd Never End
Now Until Forever
Yeah, That Was What You Said
Girl, When I Was Down
I Knew You'd Always Be There
Oh, Yeah!

Indian Giver, Indian Giver
You Took Your Love Away From Me
Indian Giver, Indian Giver
Took Back The Love You Gave To Me.

[Chorus]

You relieve me
You give me
Then you take it
away from my
memory.......

How much more
empty can I feel
Then this feel-
ing of false hap-
piness, so real
You make me
laugh at
My own
stupidity
And when
you're with me
My world's seen
differently

Restore energy
when strength
is gone
And numb me
up when the
pain's too
strong
Stress of life it
last too long
you remove my
strains
And reality
is gone......
[Chorus]

Pd… I can still remember it wasn't long ago
Things you used to tell me
You said I had to know
Told me that you love me
And that you always would
Then I said I loved you
You said that that was good
Girl you made a promise
Said you'd never want me to go
Oh no, oh

Indian giver
Indian giver
You took your love away from me
Indian giver

Took back the love you gave to me

Baby, I was feeling the way I want to feel
You had me believing the love we had was real
Things we did together
You said they'd never end
Now and till forever
Oh yeah, that's what you said
Girl when I was down I knew that you would always be there
Oh, yeh

Indian giver

(Chorus)

No broken hearted people,
no crash,no flame,
no sermon at a casket
nor a howl into the grave.

Every bone was in position.
Ever hair was in it's place.
A light comes. [x4]

Pulled of a dark country road.
New Roman suicide note.
All the way, all the way closed.
So it goes.

No organs to be salvaged,
no teeth to be compared.
We asked for no police involvement
because we knew you weren't there.
We threw a birthday party
and at the table in your chair,
a lightness. [x4]

Pulled of a dark country road.
New Roman suicide note.
All the way, all the way closed.
So it goes.

As long as your name is on my list
or your story written in the choruses,
then true death couldn't get you.
But when its spoke for the last time,
the weight is lifted.
A third eye.
