Last Christmas | Leaving Town


Leaving Town
Oh your reputation's so golden
You're never lonely and you're never home 
I know you've been talking about leaving 
You've lost all your feeling for this town 
Paint your nails and put on your lipstick 
You don't want to miss your ticket out 

Just because you graduate from school so high in the gene pool
that's your point of view 
but when you're broken down and no one else is around 
you'll come running back to this town and I'll be there
yeah, I'll be there 

'Cause I remember how we drank time together 
and how you used to say that the stars are forever 
and daydreamed about how to make your life better 
by leaving town, leaving town 

Pack your bags, your smokes in your pocket 
You're wearing my locket around your neck 
Take a drag and wait for the Greyhound 
The world is your playground and you want to win 
but when you're broken down and no one else is around 
you'll come running back to this town and I'll be there
yeah, I'll be there 

'Cause I remember how we drank time together
and how you used to say that the stars are forever 
and daydreamed about how to make your life better 
by leaving town, leaving town 

Nothing in life will ever come that easy 
Doesn't mean it has to be that hard 
I know you will find out who you are... 

But when you're broken down and no one else is around 
you'll come running back to this town and I'll be there
yeah, I'll be there 

'Cause I remember how we drank time together 
and how you used to say that the stars are forever 
and daydreamed about how to make your life better 
by leaving town, leaving town

Last Christmas
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
That doesn't surprise me
Merry Christmas, I wrap it up and send it
With a note saying '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
 
Crowded room, friends with tired eyes
Hiding from you and your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me, I guess I'm just shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Ooh, now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again
 
Found a real love
Yeah, I found a real love
 
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
 
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But you gave it away
Now I'll give it to someone special
I'll give it to someone special
