Last Christmas
Mario Biondi 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
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 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
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 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
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 on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Maybe Next year
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
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
I gave you all of me, completely and wholeheartedly
But the very next day, You gave it away
You didn't value my love and gave it away just like that
This year, to save me from tears
I don't want to cry this year
I'll give it to someone special
I'll give my heart to someone who will value it
Once bitten and twice shy
I've been hurt before and I'm cautious now
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
I try to avoid you but I still notice you
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Do you remember me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
It's been a while, so it's understandable if you don't remember me
Happy Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
I wrapped it up and sent it
I packaged my heart and sent it to you
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
I truly love you and I expressed it in the note
Now I know what a fool I've been
I realize that I was foolish to give you my all
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
If you showed me affection now, I know I would fall for it again
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm surrounded by people but I still feel alone
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
I'm avoiding you because you have a cold and insensitive personality
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
I trusted you and thought you were dependable
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
I was there for you when you needed someone to comfort you
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I've found someone who is passionate and enthusiastic about me
A man undercover but you tore me apart
You pretended to be someone you're not and broke my heart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
I've found a true love and you won't be able to deceive me anymore
Maybe Next year
Perhaps next year
I'll give it to someone special
I'll give my heart to someone who deserves it
