Last Christmas Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprisе me

[Verse 2]
"Merry Christmas" I wrapped it up and sеnt it
With a note saying, "I love you"
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
Aah, aah
Aah, aah
Aah, aah
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

A face of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Maybe next year
Maybe
I'll give it to someone...
I'll give it to someone special
Someone...

Ooh-ooh
Aah-aah, aah-aah
