lonely christmas

(album: A Different Christmas - 2021)

Right now I be out there shopping'
Some of you call it tricking off
The money never meant nothing
To see you smile you know I'd blow it all
We used to get our lights from Walmart
And hang them up for the whole world to see
Reminiscing on your milk and cookies
I'm missing you and me

It's gonna be lonely Christmas
A lonely broken-hearted Christmas
No mistletoe, no giving kisses
It's gonna be a lonely Christmas
Yeah-yeah

Stressing bout impressing all your family
'Cause everybody knows I've been working hard
Your momma begging me to bring over some food
Remember her spilling gravy in my car
It was almost like every holiday
Could never ever outdo the last
And even though it ain't snowing in the desert, girl
Still the coldest winter I've ever had

It's gonna be lonely Christmas
A lonely broken-hearted Christmas
I feel the heart and resentment
It's gonna be a lonely Christmas
Yeah-yeah

No candles lit for Hanukkah
Oh, I might as well be a Jehovah's witness
Now I know the meaning of a silent night
On my own, ayy

It's gonna be lonely Christmas
A lonely broken-hearted Christmas
Don't give a damn about a wish list
It's gonna be a lonely Christmas
Yeah-yeah

And I'm like woah-ho-ho-ho-oh
Talking 'bout, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Woah-ho-ho-ho-oh
Talking 'bout, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
A lonely night, a lonely Christmas
Hey-yeah, it's gonna be a lonely Christmas
Oh, no, no, no
