Last Christmas
gerry scotti Lyrics

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
During the previous Christmas, I entrusted you with my deepest emotions and feelings

But the very next day, you gave it away
However, shortly after, you casually discarded and disregarded my sincere gift

This year, to save me from tears
To protect myself from further emotional pain and sorrow this year

I'll give it to someone special
I will offer my heart to someone who truly appreciates and cherishes it

Once bitten and twice shy
Having suffered heartbreak before, I am now cautious and hesitant

I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
I try to maintain my distance, but you still manage to captivate my attention

Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
I wonder if you even remember who I am

Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
Considering that a whole year has passed, it doesn't astonish me

(Last Christmas) I wrapped it up and sent it
(During the previous Christmas) I carefully prepared and delivered my heartfelt gift

With a note saying, "I love you", I meant it
Accompanied by a sincere message expressing my true feelings of love

Now I know what a fool I've been
Now I realize how foolish I have been in trusting and investing my emotions

But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
However, even if you were to deceive me with a kiss at this moment, I am aware that I would fall for it once more

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
In a room filled with people, surrounded by exhausted friends

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
I am avoiding you and your cold and unfeeling nature

My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Oh my goodness, I believed that you were a person I could depend on

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
As for me? I suppose I served as a source of comfort for you when you needed to vent and express your emotions

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
The image of a passionate lover with a burning desire within him

A man under cover but you tore me apart, ooh-hoo
A man masking his true emotions, but you mercilessly tore him to pieces

Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
Now that I have discovered genuine love, you will never be able to deceive me again

This year, to save me from tears
In order to protect myself from experiencing emotional distress

I'll give it to someone special
I will bestow my heart upon someone who truly deserves and values it

A man under cover but you tore him apart (you gave it away)
A man concealing his true feelings, but you destroyed him emotionally (you discarded his love)

(Last Christmas) (Gave you-)
(During the previous Christmas) (Gave you my heart-)

I'll give it, I'll give it to someone special
I will give, I will give my heart to someone extraordinary
