[Verse 1]She lost the baby, the house nearly burnt downBaby Jesus is nobody's baby nowWatched him pick the pack of smokes out of the binThis time of year has always been so hard on him[Chorus]Last Christmas, at my aunty's houseI tried so hard to make my uncle shut his mouthGrandma cried, "Can't this wait?"Drink a cup of juice, try to celebrate[Verse 2]The family asked me to sing 'em all a songGet up in the lounge room while they keep the TV onPick a fun one, everybody clapsPlates of cold cuts tremble in their laps[Bridge]Watch me go to bed alone this yearThere was someone I wanted, but they're no longer hereGrow up, girl, it's good for your healthTo go to bed sometimes simply holding yourself[Verse 3]She lost the baby, the house might still burn downBaby Jesus is nobody's baby nowWanna be there to pick her up off the floorBut I've never had to reach this far down before[Chorus]This Christmas, at my aunty's houseI'm gonna try so hard to open up my mouthSay it loud, and hope it's trueNext year will be much easier on you
