Last X'mas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
Last X'mas
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 some one special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
but still you catch my eye
Tell me baby
do you recognize me?
Well it's been a year it doesn't surprise me
(Merry christmas)
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note said I love you I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kiss me now
I know you'll fool me again
Last X'mas
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 some one special
Last X'mas
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 some one special
Ooh-ooh-baby
Crowded room
friends with tired eyes
Hidding from you and your soul rivival
My god I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was the shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with fire in his heart
A man undercover puts his heart in a part
Ah--ooh--now I found the real love
You never fool me again
Last X'mas
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 some one special
Last X'mas
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 some one special
A face on a lover with fire in his heart
A man undercover puts his heart in a part
Ah--ooh--now I found the real love
You never fool me again
Last X'mas
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 some one special
Last X'mas
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 some one special
Last X'mas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
The Dø's song "At Last" seems to be a reflection on a past relationship that went wrong but also a hopeful call to find new love. The opening lines of the song recall a previous Christmas, where the singer gave their heart to someone they loved, but they were let down the next day. This year, they vow to give their heart to someone special instead. The lyrics, "Once bitten and twice shy, I keep my distance but still you catch my eye," suggest that the singer is wary of entering into another relationship but is still drawn to the possibility of love.
The second half of the song seems to be a reflection on the previous relationship. The lines "Crowded room, friends with tired eyes, Hiding from you and your soul revival" imply that the singer's ex-partner was someone who caused chaos and drama in their life, affecting not only their relationship but also their friendships. The chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of finding someone special to give their heart to.

Last Christmas
Referring to the previous Christmas
I gave you my heart
I gave you my love and affection
But the very next day
Almost immediately afterward
you gave it away
You betrayed my trust and love
This year to save me from tears
In order to avoid feeling upset and crying
I'll give it to someone special
I'll give my love to someone deserving and trustworthy
Once bitten and twice shy
Having been hurt before, I am now cautious
I keep my distance
I maintain a healthy emotional boundary
but still you catch my eye
I am still attracted to you
Tell me baby
Please tell me
do you recognize me?
Do you remember who I am?
Well it's been a year it doesn't surprise me
It's been a year, so I understand if you don't remember me
(Merry Christmas)
(A common holiday greeting)
I wrapped it up and sent it
I packaged my love and sent it to you
With a note said I love you I meant it
I wrote a message expressing my love and sincerity
Now I know what a fool I've been
I realize how blind and naive I've been
But if you kiss me now
If you show me affection now
I know you'll fool me again
I understand that you can't be trusted
Crowded room
A room filled with people
friends with tired eyes

I offered emotional support
A face on a lover with fire in his heart
Someone who is passionate and committed in love
A man undercover puts his heart in a part

Ah--ooh--now I found the real love
I have finally found genuine love
You never fool me again
I won't fall for your deception again
