When your day is long
And the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life hang on

Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing alone
When your day is long hold on
When you feel like letting go

If you think you've had too much
Of this life hang on
'Cause everybody hurts
To comfort when they're down
Everybody hurts

Oh hang on now
Oh hang on
If you feel like you're alone
No no you're not alone

If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights alone
If you think you've had too much
Of this life hang on

Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts sometimes

So hold on hold on
Hold on hold on
Hold on hold on
Hold on hold on
Everybody hurts

Hold on
Everybody hurts

** 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
