Lyrics
Ain't got no children whining at me
On this Christmas Eve night
Ain't got no woman nagging at me
No one to fuss and fight
There ain't nobody waiting on me
To buy them something nice
The only footsteps that I'm gonna hear
They belong to the mice
Cause I'm alone on Christmas
Ain't got nothing but time
(Ain't got nothing. Nothing but time)
Well, they turned off the juice
Ain't got no lights to shine
(Ain't got nothing. No lights to shine)
And they turned off my heat.
I got my bottle of wine.
Ain't got no kids whining at me
Daddy buy me some toys
Got no woman ragging at me
Making all kinds of noise
I'm alone on Christmas
Ain't got nothing but time
(Ain't got nothing. Nothing but time)
Well, they turned off the juice
Ain't got no lights to shine
(Ain't got nothing. No lights to shine)
And they turned off my heat.
I got my bottle of wine.
(I got my bottle of wine).
I'm alone on Christmas. Ain't got nothing but time.
