Last Christmas
Whigfield Lyrics

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
Last Christmas, I gave you everything I had, my heart included.

But the very next day you gave it away -
You threw it away the very next day, without any care for my feelings or how much it meant to me.

You gave it away
You gave up on me and our relationship so easily, without giving me a chance to make things right.

This year to save me from tears
This year, I don't want to cry over what happened, so to avoid that, I'm going to be more careful about who I give my heart to.

I'll give it to someone special - special
I'll give my heart to someone who truly deserves it, someone who will appreciate and cherish it for the precious thing it is.

Once bitten and twice shy
After being hurt once, I'm now twice as cautious and wary of getting hurt again.

I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Even though I'm trying to stay away from you, I can't help but notice you and be drawn to you.

Tell me baby do you recognize me?
I wonder if you even remember who I am, after all this time and everything that's happened.

Well it's been a year it doesn't surprise me
It's been a long time since we were together, so it's not unexpected that you might have forgotten me or moved on.

Happy Christmas
I hope you are happy and doing well, despite everything that's happened between us.

I wrapped it up and sent it with a note
I sent you a gift, with a note expressing my feelings and hoping to reconnect with you.

Saying I love you I meant it
I truly meant those words when I wrote them, and I still do.

Now I know what a fool I've been
Looking back on things, I realize how foolish I was to put so much trust and hope into something that was bound to fail.

But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
Even though I know better, I would probably still fall for your charms and your promises if you tried to win me over again.

A crowded room friends with tired eyes
In a room full of people, everyone looks tired and worn out, as if they've been through a lot lately.

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
I'm trying to avoid you as much as possible, knowing that you have a cold and distant heart that can't be trusted.

My god! I thought you were someone to rely on
I had put so much faith and hope in you, believing that you were someone I could always count on and trust.

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
I was just there for you when you needed someone to lean on and vent to, but I didn't mean enough to you to last.

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I've found someone new, someone who truly loves me and is passionate about our relationship and its future.

A girl under cover but you tore me apart
I was trying to hide my feelings and protect myself, but you still managed to hurt me deeply and leave me with scars.

Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
I'm not going to fall for your lies and mistreatment again, because I've found someone who really loves and respects me.

This year to save me from tears
I don't want to go through any more pain or heartbreak, so I'm going to be more careful and selective with my heart.

Who'll give me something in return
I want someone who can give me as much love, support, and commitment as I give them, instead of just taking everything from me.

Oh my heart it was young
When I gave you my heart, I was naive and inexperienced, and didn't understand how easily it could be broken.

Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
I'm confident that my new relationship is based on love and trust, and that I won't be fooled or hurt by someone who doesn't deserve me.

I gave you my heart
I loved you with all my heart and soul, but you didn't appreciate or reciprocate those feelings.
