Last Christmas
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
La
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da
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 fooled me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (oh, special)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (ooh)
But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears (oh, baby)
I'll give it to someone special (someone special)
La
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da (last Christmas night)
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 me apart
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 (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears (oh, baby)
I'll give it to someone special (someone special)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year (yeah), to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (yeah)
