Last Christmas
♫ George Michael Lyrics

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
Last year, I gave you all my love and affection

But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
But, unfortunately, you did not reciprocate and broke my heart by leaving me the very next day.

This year, to save me from tears
This year, to avoid being emotionally hurt and upset

I'll give it to someone special (special)
I will give my love and affection to someone who truly deserves it

Once bitten and twice shy
I have been hurt before and I am now more cautious

I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
I try to keep my distance from you, but I still find myself drawn to you.

Tell me baby do you recognize me?
I wonder if you even remember me?

Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
It has been a year since we last saw each other, so it is not surprising if you do not recognize me.

(Happy Christmas) I wrapped it up and sent it
Merry Christmas, I wrapped up my heart and sent it to you

With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
I truly meant it when I said 'I Love You'

Now I know what a fool I've been
I realize now that I made a mistake by trusting you with my heart

But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
Despite all that has happened, I am still vulnerable to you and your ways. I fear that if you made a move on me now, I would fall for it again.

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I am surrounded by people in a room, but they all seem uninteresting to me, and they look just as tired as I feel.

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
I am avoiding you and your cold, unfeeling attitude towards me

My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
I used to think that I could depend on you

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
I had hoped to be a source of comfort and support for you.

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I have found someone who is passionate and filled with love

A man under cover but you tore me apart, ooh-hoo
The previous lover I mentioned was once hidden, but you hurt me so deeply that I fell apart.

Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
I have finally found someone who truly loves me, and I will never allow myself to be fooled by you again.

Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
Perhaps next year, I will find someone new to share my love and affection with.

I'll give it to someone special (special, someone)
I will only give my heart to someone who is truly special and deserving of it.
