Last Christmas
The BossHoss Lyrics

Last Christmas
Referring to the previous year's Christmas

I gave you my heart
I shared my heart and love with you

But the very next day you gave it away
You immediately dismissed my love and gave it to someone else

This year
Referring to the current year

To save me from tears
In order to not be heartbroken again

I'll give it to someone special
I will give my heart and love to someone who truly deserves it

Once bitten and twice shy
I have learned from my past mistakes and am cautious now

I keep my distance
I try to keep a safe emotional distance

But you still catch my eye
I am still drawn to you, regardless of my caution

Tell me baby
I want to know

Do you recognize me?
Do you remember who I am?

Well it's been a year
It has been a year since we parted ways

so It doesn't surprise me
It is not surprising that you may not remember me

Happy Christmas (happy Christmas)
A wish for a joyful Christmas

I wrapped it up and sent it (you sent it)
I packaged a gift and delivered it

With a note saying I love you
I expressed my feelings of love for you

I meant it (come on)
I was sincere about my expression of love

Now I know what a fool I've been
I realize that I was foolish to give my heart again

But if you kissed me now
If you were to show me affection now

I know you'd fool me again (fool me again baby)
I know that I would fall for your charm and again be heartbroken

A crowded room
A room filled with people

Friends with tired eyes (tired eyes)
Friends who look exhausted

I'm hiding from you
I am deliberately avoiding you

And your soul of ice (soul of ice)
And your icy, uncaring nature

My God I thought you were
I believed that you were

Something to rely on
Someone who could be counted on

Me (you)
To support and comfort me (you)

I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
I was merely someone to provide emotional support to

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (fire in his heart)
A passionate lover with strong feelings

A man under cover but you tore me apart (tore me apart)
A man hiding his true feelings, who was hurt badly by you

Ooh ooh, come on now, ooh ooh
Vocal ad-libs to emphasize the emotions being expressed

Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
I have found true love and will never fall for your deceitfulness again

A man under cover but you tore him apart
Repeating previous line, but with different pronoun to emphasize change in perspective

I said next year I'll give it to someone
I previously stated that I would give my heart to someone else

I'll give it to someone special (special)
Now I am reaffirming my commitment to give my love to someone deserving

Yeehaw!
Exclamation of excitement or enthusiasm
