House In Back – Ain't No "Ex" In Christmas lyrics

[Verse 1]
An old flame called recently, complaining about a miserable life
Making excuses for things, crying that nothin’s gone right
The call seemed strange at the time, right before the holidays
Didn’t take long figuring out, thought this might happen some day

[Chorus]
But there Ain’t No Ex in Christmas
So don’t you go coming around
But there Ain’t No Ex in Christmas
Really don’t want to hear you, singing your sad, sad song!

[Verse 2]
Just sitting here wrapping gifts, there was a faint knock on the door
As I called out who can it be, It was a voice I’d heard before
I know you know that I’ve made some mistakes, was hoping you’d understand
Was hoping for another chance, to work things out if we can

[Chorus]
But there Ain’t No Ex in Christmas
So don’t you go hanging around
But there Ain’t No Ex in Christmas
Really don’t want to hear you, singing your sad, sad song!

[Bridge]
I was waiting for Santa
When you showed up at my door
Just like a big bag of coal
I’ve been a good ole boy and I can’t take you coming around no more!

[Verse 3]
We were once close as can be, but really so far apart
Which is where we need to stay, better to listen to your heart
And as you all ponder the season’s wonder, and the magic that it brings
Might be that your spellcheck is broke, for it’s “Christmas” hear the angels sing

Final Chorus
But there Ain’t No Ex in Christmas
So don’t you go sneaking around
But there Ain’t No Ex in Christmas
Really don’t want to hear you, singing your sad, sad song!
