[Verse 1]
Home tonight, rest my head
In my single childhood bed
Close my eyes, count to three
Wish that you were here with me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Last year, when my hands were cold
You were always there to hold

[Chorus 1]
So give me your warmest pair
Your strongest pair of mittens, please
Something to get me through
The loneliness of Christmas Eve

I fell for you, like crazy
And I can't get thoughts of you, from me
So give me your warmest pair
Your strongest pair of mittens, please

[Verse 2]
By my table I survive
Fix the makeup from my eyes
Fake a smile so they won't see
Wish that you were here with me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Last year, when my hands were cold
You were always there to hold

[Chorus 2]
So give me your warmest pair
Your strongest pair of mittens, please
Something to get me through
The loneliness of winter, see

I fell for you, like crazy
And I can't get thoughts of you, from me
So give me your warmest pair
Your strongest pair of mittens, please

[Bridge]
Shout your name through the snow storm, baby
You can break me to the bone, oh
I was wrong, you were wrong to make me
Feel like I was all alone

[Verse 3]
Walking through my old hometown
No one else but me around
Make an angel in the snow
Pray that I can let you go

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I fell for you, like crazy
And I can't get thoughts of you, from me

[Chorus 2]
So give me your warmest pair
Your strongest pair of mittens, please
Something to get me through
The loneliness of Christmas Eve

I fell for you, like crazy
And I can't get thoughts of you, from me
So give me your warmest pair
Your strongest pair of mittens, please

Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
