Last Christmas

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 kiss 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

Surrounded by love and never felt so alone

The memories of us hold me all year long

I know I put you through it, something I never meant

But you cannot regret all the time that we spent

Christmas is here, the season of giving

But I'm only living half of life with you missin'

I thought you'd be here when the lights went down

But when the dark came round

You couldn't be found

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 him apart

Whoa no…

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

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man undercover but you tore him apart

Oh, next year…

I'll give it to someone, 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
