Last Christmas, I gave you my heart This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special (special) But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away) But the very next day, you gave it away I'll give it to someone special Once bitten

I pull up and save the day Don't want any problems, I'll be a call away I'm ready for action, fly without a cape I'm one of those ones, they'll never beat me, they'll never beat me 'Kay, okay how could I forget? Ayy It takes some courage to bet, ayy That

When I come around No time to search the world around 'Cause you know where I'll be found I heard you crying loud, all the way across town Cause you been searching for that someone And it's me out on the prowl As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself

You're always in my heart Though you're far away I am here to stay I am here with you Though we're far apart Everyday I sit and ask myself How did love slip away Something whispers in my ear and says That you are not alone

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight Won't somebody help me Chase the shadows away Take me through the darkness To the break of the day There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Half past twelve

Years, they will come and go. Sometimes the tears will flow. Some of my memories will fade, But I'll always remember that one September day. I used to reminisce 'Cause I thought that love was bliss. How did they know it would go astray? It began, and it

I'm working on a dream Though it can feel so far away Our love will make it real someday Out here the nights are long, the days are lonely I think of you and I'm working on a dream Now the cards I've drawn's a rough hand, darling I straighten the back

How are you still holding on? One day it's here and then it's gone On your own Through the eyes of someone else You and everybody else What's it all about You've felt this way for far too long Waiting for a change to come You know you're not the only one

To ever have to worry 'bout that Too high, too high in the clouds I done made some mistakes along the way To become the G I am today Who'd ever thought I'd make this far? Out the hood to be a big star And I ain't goin' nowhere Homie I ain't never comin'

You might hear it on the radio. Baby you never know, But it's gonna be just about you and me, How much I miss you. You're the one that got away. You're gonna hear your song someday. And then I'll write you a song. Girl, I'm gonna warn ya, I'm leaving
