LAST CHRISTMAS
Jasmine-thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 loved 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 (special)
(Special)
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
Face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore him apart
Ooh, ooh, now I′ve found a real love
You'll never fool me again (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 (special)
Face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore him apart
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special), special
Special
