Last Christmas
Urban Swing Workers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
"Happy Christmas" I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
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
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Oh oh now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again
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, special
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
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

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
I offered you my heart last Christmas
But the very next day you gave it away
You quickly got rid of it the next day
This year, to save me from tears,
So as not to cry this year
I'll give it to someone special
I will give it to someone more deserving
Once bitten and twice shy
Hurt before and now more cautious
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
I try to stay away, but I still notice you
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Do you remember who I am?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
A year has passed, so your forgetfulness doesn't shock me
"Happy Christmas" I wrapped it up and sent it
I prepared a gift and sent it with holiday wishes
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it
I expressed my affection sincerely
Now I know what a fool I've been
Now I understand how foolish I was
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
If you showed affection now, I know it would be temporary
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
A busy space with weary companions
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
I'm staying away from your cold and distant nature
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
I believed you were dependable
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
I was there for emotional support
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A person who loves passionately
A man under cover but you tore me apart
A person who hides their true self, but still hurt me deeply
Oh oh now I've found a real love
Now I have discovered a genuine connection
You'll never fool me again
I won't be deceived by you again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
I offered you my heart last Christmas
But the very next day you gave it away
You quickly got rid of it the next day
This year, to save me from tears,
So as not to cry this year
I'll give it to someone special, special
I will give it to someone truly deserving
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
I offered you my heart last Christmas
But the very next day you gave it away
You quickly got rid of it the next day
This year, to save me from tears,
So as not to cry this year
I'll give it to someone special
I will give it to someone more deserving
