Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the 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
Now I've found the real love, now I found
You'll never fool me again!
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I've found the real love, now I found
You'll never fool me again!
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears

The lyrics to "Last Christmas" by The Beautiful Losers tell the story of a person who gave their heart to someone they loved last Christmas, only to have it given away the very next day. This year, in order to spare themselves the tears and heartbreak of last year, they vow to give their heart to someone special. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the pain and disappointment felt by the singer, and the determination they have to move on from that experience.
The second verse paints a picture of a man who was pretending to be something he wasn't, and in doing so, he caused the singer pain and heartbreak. The last two lines of the verse show that the singer has moved on, and found someone who truly loves them, and they vow to never let themselves be deceived again. Overall, the song is a tale of heartbreak and recovery, with the singer expressing their willingness to take a chance on love once again, but only with someone who is worthy of their trust and devotion.
Line by Line Meaning
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
In the previous year's Christmas, I gave you my heart as a symbol of my love
The very next day you gave it away
You didn't appreciate my love and gave it away to someone else immediately
This year to save me the tears
To avoid the pain I felt last year, I'll be cautious this year
I'll give it to someone special.
I'll give my heart to someone who deserves it and values it
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I fell in love with someone who was passionate and enthusiastic
A man undercover but you tore me apart
You pretended to be someone else, and it hurt me deeply
Now I've found the real love, now I found
I have finally found someone who truly loves me
You'll never fool me again!
I won't allow myself to be deceived again
