Last Christmas — Carly Rae Jepsen
Individual performer: Carly Rae Jepsen
Artist background
Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” introduced her to a worldwide audience, while albums such as Emotion showed the breadth of her pop songwriting. Her festive song “It’s Not Christmas Till Somebody Cries” takes a wry look at imperfect celebrations. A useful reminder that a family Christmas needn’t resemble a glossy advert to be memorable.
Show Lyrics — Last Christmas
I gave you my heart Merry Christmas Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance but you still catch my eye Tell me baby, do you recognize me? It's been a year, you know it doesn't surprise me Merry Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it Merry Christmas, I love you and 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 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 (special) 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 (special) Special Special Special A crowded room, friends with tired eyes I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice 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 Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again 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 (special) 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 (special) Special Special Special Special
