** 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

** repeat

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance

But you still catch my eyes

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 lool I've been

But if you kissed me now

I know you'd fool me again

** repeat twice

A crowded a 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 under cover but you tore me apart

Now I've found a real love

You 'll never fool me agian

** repeat twice

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover but she tore him apart

Maybe next year I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special

Who will give me something in return

Hold my heart and watch it burn

I can't remember what I planned tomorrow
I can't remember when it's time to go
When I look in the mirror
Tracing lines with a pencil
I remember what came before

I wanted to think there was endless love
Until I saw the light dim in your eyes
In the dead of the night I found out
Sometimes there's love that won't survive

New York City
Such a beautiful disease
New York City
Such a beautiful,
Such a beautiful disease

Laura kept all her disappointments
Locked up in a box behind her closet door
She pulled the blinds
and listened to the thunder
With no way out from the family store

We all told her things could get better
When you just say goodbye
I'll lay awake one more night
Caught in a vision I want to deny
And did I mention the note that I found

Taped to my locked front door
It talked about no regrets
As it slipped from my hand
to the scuffed tile floor

I rode the train for hours on end
And watched the people pass me by
It could be that it has no end
Just an action junkie's lullaby

New York City
Such a beautiful disease
New York City
Such a beautiful,
Such a beautiful disease

New York City
We were full of the stuff
that every dream rested
As if floating on a lumpy pillow sky
Caught up in the whole illusion

That dreams never pass us by
Came to a tattoed conclusion
That the big one was knocking on the door
What started as a mass delusion
Would take me far from the place I adore

New York City
Such a beautiful disease
New York City
You are my beautiful,
Such a beautiful disease

Oh, yeah, yeah

Last night I took a walk in the snow
Couples holdin' hands, places to go
Seems like everyone but me is in love
Santa, can you hear me?

I signed my letter that I sealed with a kiss
I sent it off, and just said this
I know exactly what I want this year
Santa can you hear me?

I want my baby, baby
I want someone to love me, someone to hold
Maybe, maybe
He'll be all my own in a big red bow

Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is here

He's all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa, that's my only wish this year

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Christmas Eve, I just can't sleep
Would I be wrong for takin' a peek
'Cause I heard that you're coming to town
Santa, can you hear me?

Yeah, I really hope that you're on your way
With something special for me in your sleigh
Oh, please make my wish come true
Santa, can you hear me?

I want my baby, baby
I want someone to love me, someone to hold
Maybe, maybe
We'll be all alone under the mistletoe

Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near

He's all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa, that's my only wish this year

I hope my letter reaches you in time, oh, yeah
Bring me love, I can call all mine, oh, yeah
'Cause I have been so good this year, oh oh
Can't be alone under the mistletoe
He's all I want in a big red bow

Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He's all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa, that's my only wish this year

Oh, Santa, can you hear me?
Oh, Santa
Well, he's all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa, that's my only wish this year
Santa, that's my only wish this year
