Last Christmas
Jimmy Eat World · Other Songs - Jimmy Eat World
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(X4)
The face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I found a real love (now I found)
You'll never fool me again
(X2)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(X2)
