The melancholy of this song is perfectly expressed on Karen's face (watch her) and in her powerfully, emotive vocals.

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 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,
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.
This year To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special.
 
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.
 
Oh, oh, baby.
 
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 under cover but you tore me apart, ooh-hoo.
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.
This year To save me from tears I'll give it to someone special.
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.
 
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone
special.
Special...
Someone...

This playing with cups thing is somehow extremely popular with youth culture....
I like how she used it in this song.
The music video must have been extremely expensive to make. I do like the message and the ending.

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.

Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.

ok... let's add to the list.

1      I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. 

2      There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. 

3      Life is sexually transmitted. 

4      Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. 

5      The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. 

6      Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. 

7      Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to? 

8     Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again. 

9      All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. 

10     In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.  Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it  Normal .  

11     How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? 

12     Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these dangly things and drink whatever Comes out'? 

13    If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him? 

14      Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway? 

15      If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? 

16        If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from? 

17      Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?   

18      Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster? 

19      Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?   

20     Do you ever wonder why you gave me your email address?

Sad truth about our modern progress. 

He was a very talented artist.... and in this song he tackled a very deep problem of modern society.... even though he probably wrote it 50 years ago.
Still very true after all these years!
Sadly... the children don't play outside anymore.

Truly awesome!!

This cover by "The Carpenters" was released in 1973 and made it to number 3 on the billboard hot 100, and number 1 on the Billboard Easy Listening.. This song is also known by the title "Sing" and was written by "Joe Raposo" for the children's TV show ""Sesame Street" hey i used to like watching that show...

Good. I hoped they would.
The Librarian gets mad if I like to my blog too much. Most of my posts on controversial matters I have also posted here, word-for-word. I would gladly link to them here, and not on my blog, if i could find them. The closest option I see here is a “Content I Started” tab, which includes every comment on any thread I started. If there was one with just the headings themselves, that is the tab that I would use.
She may think I am trying to swipe her participants—it is a reasonable concern. I am not. My comment section expires quickly, I have made it non-existent where that is an issue, and I do not allow much commentary in the first place, certainly not debate. I cite my posts there and not here only because I find it easier to do so.
Why would they not be happy about a fix that they came up with themselves?

I understand the new French military salute is both arms held straight up, with palms forward.

I am creating this thread in response to all the non-sequitur replies all the other threads get. 
I will try to not care if someone responds with a Turkey recipe or True Tom spams us again. 
This is me throwing up my hands. Officially.

You or I could make that same money .... if we were willing and able to be punched in the face 600 times a night.
