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

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 surprise 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
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

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 face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.

    General Comment:i know this is a love song about Shirley Kemp whose last name is now Holliman cuz she got married and since George Michael is gay i guess it's safe to say the protagonist of the song was Andrew Ridgely

    General Comment:*scratches head* It's really kind of odd how the music of this song and the beat and everything makes you feel all happy but then you think of the lyrics and they're actually quite depressing.

    General Comment:This, actually, is one of my favorite Christmas songs. Whenever this song comes on the radio, me, my mom, and/or my niece start dancing and acting like idiots. Haha. Alot of people have sung this song...and, well, none of them beat the original. Awesomeness.

    General Comment:i first heard this song on a local easy listening radio station around christmas time a few years back. during christmas time, the yjust play christmas songs and when i heard it, i thought it was a woman singing.i didnt really think much of it at the time, but it still got stuck in the back of my head for a while.then i heard the jimmy eat world version, which was col. then like a year later i heard it again and totally dug it. i like the christmas sounding vibe the keyboards give the song. i think thats what really sticks with me , not so much the lyrics, but the melody. good song

    General Comment:It's so uplifting... yet so depressing. This song make me happy - just because if you don't take in what the lyrics are saying, the tune isn't slow and sad. The lyrics are also something I reckon that most people can relate to - maybe not the Christmas thing, but still.

    The part that confuses me, though. First it's "But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again"... then it's "Now I found a real love, you'll never fool me again"... he's gotta make up his mind.

    General Comment:I never liked christmas music, but this has gotta be the Best X-mas song EVER. To me it makes X-mas seem very romantic in a way I hadnt noticed before hearing it. Yeah, its a bout a PAST broken heart-but the punchline is: "now I found a real love you'll never fool me again". The protagonist in this song finally has found true love at X-mas time and wont make the same sad mistake he made a year ago.
