Last Christmas
Mariah Angeliq Lyrics

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
During the last Christmas, I gave you all of my love and affection.

But the very next day, you gave it away
The very next day, you did not value the love and affection I gave to you and you threw it all away.

This year, to save me from tears
This year, I want to avoid any heartaches and sorrows.

I'll give it to someone special
I will give my love and affection to someone who truly values and cherishes it.

Once bitten and twice shy
After being hurt in the past, I am more cautious and hesitant now.

I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
I am avoiding getting close to you, but I still can't help but feel attracted to you.

Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
After a year, I wonder if you still remember me.

Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
It's been a year, so I am not surprised if you do not remember me.

('Merry Christmas') I wrapped it up and sent it
I wrapped my love and affection for you and sent it during Christmas to show my love and care for you.

With a note saying, 'I love you', I meant it
I wrote a note to tell you that I love you, and I truly meant those words.

Now I know what a fool I've been
Now I realize how foolish I was to give you all of my love and affection without really knowing how you would reciprocate it.

But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again (I know you'd fool me)
Even though I know I was foolish in the past, if you kissed me now, I might get fooled once again.

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I am in a room full of people, and everyone seems exhausted and drained.

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
I am avoiding you because you seem cold and unfeeling.

My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
I had believed that you were someone I could put my trust in and depend on.

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
In the end, I was only someone to lean on and cry to.

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I used to be passionate and had a blazing love.

A man under cover but you tore me apart (apart)
I had to hide my true self from you, but in the end, I was torn apart by your actions.

Oh-ho
An extended pause or exclamation.

I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
I have found someone who truly loves me, and I will not let myself be fooled again by you.

This year, to save me from tears (tears)
This year, I want to avoid any and all heartaches and sorrows, including crying.
