"Last Christmas" Lyrics

[Chorus]:
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 (Special)

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special (Special)

Oh

[Verse 1]:
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 an year
It doesn't surprise me
Merry Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note sayin' 'I love you' and meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

[Chorus]:
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 (Special)

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special (Special)

Oh, oh
Oh, oh baby

[Verse 2]:
A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hidin' from you
And your soul of ice
Oh my, I thought you were
Someone to rely on?
Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A friend to discover with a fire in her heart
A girl under cover but you tore me apart
You tore me apart, ohh, ohh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

[Chorus]:
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 (Special)

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special (Special)

[Bridge]:
A friend to discover with a fire in her heart
A girl under cover but you tore me apart
Maybe next year
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special (Special)

Oh
Oh, oh baby
