Last Christmas
Andrew Ridgley Lyrics

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
Last Christmas, I gave you my all

But the very next day, you gave it away
But you rejected my love and moved on too soon

This year, to save me from tears
This year, I won't let you make me cry

I'll give it to someone special
I'll give my love to someone deserving of it

Once bitten and twice shy
After being hurt once, I'm cautious now

I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
I try to avoid you, but I'm still drawn to you

Tell me baby do you recognize me?
Do you remember me and the love I gave you?

Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
It's been a year since we were together, so it makes sense

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

With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
I still love you and my feelings are sincere

Now I know what a fool I've been
Now I realize how foolish I was for loving you so much

But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
But I'm still vulnerable to you and your charming ways

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
In a room full of people, my eyes are tired from searching for you

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
I'm avoiding you and your cold, heartless personality

My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
I thought you were dependable and trustworthy

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
I was just someone you used to lean on during tough times

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I fell in love deeply and passionately

A man under cover but you tore me apart, ooh-hoo
I tried to hide my feelings, but you still hurt me deeply

Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
But now I'm with someone who truly loves me and doesn't play games

Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
Next year, I might give my love to another

I'll give it to someone special (special, someone)
I'll give my love to someone who truly deserves it (a special someone)
