Last Christmas
Christmas Hits 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

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

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

Oh, oh, baby

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 of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Ooh, now I've found a real love
You'll never 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 face of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone special

You gave it away




Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away

Overall Meaning

"Last Christmas" by Wham! is one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time. The song tells the story of a person who gave their heart to a past lover during the previous holiday season. The singer reflects on how the relationship failed, as the recipient of their affection gave their heart away to someone else the very next day. This year, to avoid the same heartbreak, the singer will give their heart to someone special.


The lyrics suggest that the singer is hesitant to jump back into a relationship after being hurt in the past. He mentions being "once bitten and twice shy," indicating that he's been hurt before and doesn't want to make the same mistake again. However, he still finds himself attracted to his former lover, as he wonders if she recognizes him and admits that she still catches his eye.


The song's chorus repeats the same lines twice, emphasizing the singer's resolution to let go of his past heartbreak and move on to someone new. The final verse reveals that the singer has found a new love and is no longer interested in being fooled by his former lover.

Jó reggelt kedves 😇

Lehet, hogy nem egy nyelvet beszélünk részemről ezért nem szoktam ilyen hogy is mondjam...
Ilyen nevető jellel írni azt hogy
Hehe...

Szeretek nyomatékot adni az érzelmi szinten minden érzésnek mivel az univerzum arra jobban reagàl...

Így erre csak azt tudom írni...

Érezd meg milyen az amikor egy ember ír hosszú éveken át,...
Úgy, hogy nem kap vissza semmit, sőt még ki is akarják valakik nyírni,...!

Amikor ennek a személynek küldetése van,amit úgy hiszem teljesîtett is...
Ez lennék jó magam, és bátran ki merem jelenteni,...
Minden ego nélkül,...
Főleg,hogy bebizonyîtottam az egész világnak, milyen egy igazi szerelem 😇🌹😇

Lassan már 8 éve lesz...
Ugye kedves megmentőm vagy tevednék mikor ezt írom neked válaszul...?

Kicsi ez a világ Istenhez képest...

Mit akarhatunk mi ebben a mindenségben mikor az emberek hitüket vesztették...
Jó magam nem,hiszen akkor nem küzdöttem volna egy szerelemért idestova 8 éven át...
Tehát mégegyszer megkérdezem ki az a szerencsés fickó aki ezt az üzenetet küldte nekem?... Ő biztos emlékszik ahogyan én is... hát hogy is lehetne feledni olyan egyszerűen egy ilyen nagy szerelmet?

Nem igaz kedves?

Várom válaszát

Tisztelettel maradok feléd addig is!

some ideas for a better planet

Matthew 5: 27-28
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.


Luke 17:1
And he said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come!


better stop producing / uploading / watching "music videos".. (or similar videos, pics, profile pictures, thumbnails, title names, headlines, usernames + harmful comments, bad words, lies, disrespect, harmful lyrics etc! on social media + everywhere else too.
"Temptations to sin" / seduction etc. must stop)
start deleting? censoring etc.?
destroy your smartphones, cams, data storage devices etc? would be better.
remove temptations / seduction + other evil things from TV, magazines, radio stations, broadcasting etc? would be better.



many young people are watching those videos (or reading / typing harmful comments, or doing other bad things!) etc. all over the world. and its NOT ok!
parents? (or people in authority): intervene?! seriously

wait.. there is more:
harmful drawings / comics / animations etc, clothing / styles / hairstyles / behaviour, facial expressions, gestures, dancemoves, acting, exercises, sports etc.
harmful things in video games, news, reports, interviews, vlogs, tutorials, movies, series, trailers, entertainment shows, (+ backgrounds + surroundings), books, art, artworks, calendars, posters, business flyers, catalogues, leaflets, packagings, stickers etc. (words, speeches (+ voice types, vocal color etc), music, sounds, visuals, references! etc.)
harmful things in stores and online shops, advertisements + advertising, commercials...

+ better stop online dating and other harmful things!


maybe..
support ocean or river! clean up organizations? (i think it is of high importance) (in india, pakistan, africa etc)
+ support animal welfare (animal shelters (money for food or new fluffy dog beds? blankets?, small fluffy carpets? (+ washing machines?), pet vitamin supplements, + pet supplies (dog toothbrushes?), pet toys, dog hairbrush?

(outdoor electric power generation) (to run vacuum cleaners, washing machines etc), solar lamps? (smart lighting solutions), transport vehicles, maintenance work etc. + other improvements, additional staff + volunteers, more safety, beautifications? etc. topiary?
+ animal rescue ? (dog rescue projects in india?), animal hospitals? (in poor countries or districts) or homeless people in your area? (btw governments should help these people! seriously. fast / adequate / individual support?!)
support some of them?
as an act of goodwill.
+ always be careful: corona etc.!

or become a firefighter, volunteer firefighter (+ driver? (pump operator), paramedic or ER doctor? ER nurse? ambulatory care? or shuttle service? (for people with disabilities)
+ be cautious: corona etc!
