Lyrics
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.
Once bitten and twice shy,
I keep my distance,
but you still catch my eye.
Tell me baby,
do you recognize me?
It's been a year,
it doesn't surprise me.
"Happy 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'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.
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 crowded room,
friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
and your soul of ice
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 under cover,
but you tore me apart.
Once bitten and twice shy,
I keep my distance,
but you still catch my eye
