Baby Jesus Is Nobody’s Baby Now

She lost the baby, the house nearly burnt down Baby Jesus is nobody's baby now Watched him pick the pack of smokes out of the bin This time of year has always been so hard on him Last christmas at my aunty's house I tried so hard to make my uncle shut his mouth Grandma cried, can't this wait Drink a cup of juice, try to celebrate Hmm-hmm-hmmm The family asked me to sing them all a song Get up in the lounge room while they keep the TV on Pick a fun one, everybody claps Plates of cold cuts tremble in their laps Watch me go to bed alone this year There was someone I wanted but, they're no longer here Grow up girl, it's good for your health To go to bed sometimes simply holding yourself Hmm-hmm-hmmm She lost the baby, the house might still burn down Baby Jesus is nobody's baby now Wanna be there to pick her up off the floor But I've never had to reach this far down before This christmas at my aunty's house I'm gonna try so hard to open up my mouth Say it loud, and hope it's true Next year will be much easier on you Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmmmm
