[ Featuring John Early, Kate Berlant ]
Hello? Hey, Kate, what's up? It's John
Oh, hey, John
What's wrong? You sound sad
Oh, I just always get a little down this time of year, that's all
You're still thinking about that guy?
Yeah
Really? Yeah
Okay, well, I have just the thing
Come over
We're having an incredible Christmas, me, Molly, and a bunch of our friends and family
Okay, I'll try, I-I really will
Look, I'll let you to it, but really, really consider it, okay?
I do love this time of year
Me too
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
The very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
(Ding-dong) hey, Kate, oh, my God you look amazing!
Why the long face? You're at the party now
It's just not easy having your heart broken on Christmas
You have to move on, I'm sorry, you have to move on
I think for this party, just forget about it
No mentions of it, cool? I love you
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
(Merry 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
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (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 (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
This party's amazing, John, thank you for inviting me tonight
I needed it more than you'll ever know
Okay, Kate, I want you to take this exact energy and put it straight into the song, yeah
Merry Christmas
Okay, is it just me or do you sound amazing?
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
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 (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 (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart!)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, huh)
(Was I not enough?)
(I'll bring you presents 'cause it's Christmas)
(It's time for Christmas, you know it's Christmas)
(Merry Christmas, M-E-R-R-Y C-R-H-I-S-T-M-A-S-S)
