Oli London & Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish I could forget
What you did last December
You left my heart a mess (a mess)
Boy, you blew it
How could you do it, do it, oh, yeah, oh, yeah?
(It's the rascals)
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, yeah, yeah.
But 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
Thought we belong together
At least that's what you said
I should've known better
You broke my heart again (again)
Boy, you blew it
How could you do it, do it, oh, yeah?
The last Christmas
I gave you my heart, gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears (you got it)
I'll give it to someone special
The last Christmas (oh, baby)
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
This year (you got it)
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Ooh, yeah
How could you leave Christmas morning?
You broke my heart with no warning
Boy, you blew it
How could you do it, do it, oh, yeah?
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
But the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears (oh, baby)
I'll give it to someone special
This is our last (last) last (last) Christmas
You broke my heart
Last (last) last (last) Christmas you broke my heart
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
I hate that I remember
I wish I could forget
What you did last December
You left my heart a mess (you left my heart a mess)
(This year, to save me from tears (oh, baby) I'll give it to someone special)
I hate that I remember
I wish I could forget
What you did last December
You left my heart a mess (you left my heart a mess)
(This year, to save me from tears (oh, baby) I'll give it to someone special)
The lyrics to "Last Christmas" by Oli London and Ariana Grande describe a painful breakup that occurred during the holiday season. The song starts with the singer expressing their desire to forget what happened during the previous December, when their heart was left in a mess by someone they cared deeply about. The chorus repeats the refrain from the classic Wham! song of the same name, acknowledging that the singer gave their heart away last Christmas but it was not returned. Despite this, they have hope for the future and want to give their heart to someone special this year.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on their past relationship and how they thought they belonged together, but the other person broke their heart again. They express frustration with how this person could hurt them once more, questioning how they could do that. The bridge elicits more of the pain and anger felt by the singer, as they wonder how their former partner could leave on Christmas morning and break their heart with no warning.
The song ultimately ends on a note of determination to move on and give one's heart to someone who deserves it. The repetition of the phrase "last, last, last Christmas" emphasizes the finality of the situation, and the final line underscores that the singer has learned from their past experiences and will be more discerning when it comes to love.
