Last Christmas
Leo Rispal 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 recognise 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
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 man undercover but you tore me apart
Oooh Oooh
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
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Special...
Last Christmas
is a classic holiday song that was originally released in 1984 by the British pop group, Wham!, and has since been covered by numerous artists including Leo Rispal. The song tells a story of heartbreak and moving on during the holiday season. The opening verse establishes that the singer gave their heart to someone the previous Christmas, only to have it broken when the person gave it away the very next day. This year, they vow to give their heart to "someone special" in order to save themselves from tears.
The second verse mentions how the singer is still drawn to the person who broke their heart, but is wary of falling for them again. The chorus repeats the same sentiment as the opening verse, emphasizing the singer's desire to find true love and not repeat the same mistake of giving their heart to the wrong person. The bridge of the song features the singer reflecting on their past relationship and admitting their foolhardy actions, but also acknowledging the possibility of being fooled again if given the chance.

This year, to save me from tears
This year, in order to avoid feeling sad and hurt again,
I'll give it to someone special
I'll give my love to someone who will appreciate and cherish it
Once bitten and twice shy
After being hurt before, I'm hesitant to trust and love again
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
I try to stay away, but I'm still attracted to you
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Do you remember who I am?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
It's been a long time, so it's understandable if you don't recognize me

Merry Christmas!
I wrapped it up and sent it
I packaged up my love and sent it to you
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Accompanying the gift was a sincere message of love
Now I know what a fool I've been
Now I realize that I was foolish to give you my love without ensuring it would be reciprocated
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
If you were to try and win me back with a kiss, I know that I would be deceived once more
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
In a busy place filled with exhausted people
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
I'm trying to avoid you and your cold, unfeeling personality
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
I used to believe you were a trustworthy person
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
I was there for you to lean on when you needed emotional support
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I appeared to be a passionate and devoted lover
A man undercover but you tore me apart
I was hiding my true emotions, but you still hurt me deeply
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
Now that I've found genuine love, I won't be tricked or deceived in the same way as before
Special...
Special, as in this new love I've found is truly special and worth cherishing
