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.

Wait

Oh yes, merry Christmas little girl

Wait

Last year, you left me, little girl...

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

Last 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 (Oh! yeah!)

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

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 under cover but you tore him apart

Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart (and twice shy)

But the very next day you gave it away (you still catch my eyes)

This year

To save me from tears (do you recognize me?)

I'll give it to someone special (it doesn't surprise me)

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart (I wrapped it up and sent it)

But the very next day you gave it away (say I love you I meant it)

This year

To save me from tears (what a fool I've been)

I'll give it to someone special (I know you fool me again)

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart (oh! yeah!)

But the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)

This year

To save me from tears (from tears)

I'll give it to someone special (special)

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart (oh! yeah!)

But the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)

This year

To save me from tears (from tears)

I'll give it to someone special (special)
