Julia Jacklin - baby jesus is nobody's baby now Lyrics

She lost the baby
The house nearly burned down
Baby Jesus is nobody's baby now
Watched him pick the pack of smokes out of the bin
This time of years' always been so hard on him

Last Christmas
At my auntie'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

Mm, mm-mm
Mm, mm-mm
Mm, mm-mm

The family asked me to sing 'em all a song
Get up in the lounge and 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

Mm, mm-mm
Mm, mm-mm
Mm, mm-mm

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 auntie'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

Mm-mm
Mm, mm-mm
Mm, mm-mm
