Last Christmas
The Puppini Sisters Lyrics

The Puppini Sisters’ rendition of “Last Christmas” tells a story of heartbreak and redemption. The first verse sets the scene of a past lover who received the singer’s heart on Christmas day, only to break it and give it away the next day. The chorus repeats this sentiment, highlighting the pain that the singer feels from being let down so abruptly. However, the chorus ends with a vow, promising to give her heart to someone special this year in order to avoid experiencing the same heartbreak again.

The second verse provides more detail about the previous relationship, describing the man as having had a “fire in his heart” but was also “undercover.” This could imply that he had been disingenuous or had hidden his true intentions from the singer. However, the chorus repeats again, emphasizing the singer's determination to move on and find someone who will treat her better. The final line “You’ll never fool me again!” communicates a sense of finality and empowerment, indicating that the singer has grown from this experience and is ready to move on.
