"Last Christmas" lyrics

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
And then the very next day, you gave it away
Oh this year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to somebody special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
And then the very next day, you gave it away
Oh this year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to somebody special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it wouldn't surprise me

Merry Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I loved you", I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kiss me now, I bet you'd fool me again

And I say, Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
And then the very next day, you gave it away
Oh this year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to somebody special

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I keep on hiding from you and your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone I could rely on
Me? I guess I was just a shoulder you could cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Got a man under cover, but you tore me apart
No no, but now I've found a love
You'll never fool me again

I'll say, Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
And then the very next day, you gave it away
Oh this year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to somebody special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, I'll save me from tears
And I'll give it to somebody, give it to somebody...

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
And the very next day, you gave me away
But I'm gonna save my tears
And I'll give it to somebody special

I'm gonna give it to somebody special
