Last Christmas
Ally Brooke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
"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'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

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 girl undercover, but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas (Christmas), I gave you my heart (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

Last Christmas (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 (save me from tears)
I'll give it to someone special (special)

Overall Meaning

Ally Brooke's song "Last Christmas" is a cover of the original song by the British band Wham!, which was released in 1984. The song features emotional lyrics about lost love and heartbreak during the holidays. The song talks about how the singer gave all their heart to their lover but the lover gave it away the very next day. A year has passed, and the singer still remembers this incident, but to save themselves from tears, they've decided to give their heart away to someone special this year.


The lyrics in the second verse talk about how the singer is still affected by the previous year's heartbreak, and they are hiding from their ex-lover in a crowded room. They thought of their ex as someone reliable, but they ended up tearing them apart. The singer then reveals that they have found a genuine love this year and their ex cannot fool them again.


The song is relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak during the holiday season, and the lyrics take an introspective look at love, vulnerability, and moving on. Ally Brooke's cover offers a fresh take on the classic holiday song while staying true to the original's emotional message.

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
I gave you my love and trust


But the very next day, you gave it away

I'll give it to someone special
I'll give my love to someone who deserves it and values it


Once bitten and twice shy
I've been hurt before, so I'm cautious to trust again
