Ok. Let’s
have a rest. In some days will be Christmas Day. Let’s sing the song!
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
Happy Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying «I love you»
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
Crowded room
Runs with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your solemn eyes
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me
again
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I
gave you mine)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.
Special
So long
