Last Christmas

Wham
Song background: Released in 1984, this was the biggest selling

single in history to never reach Number One in the British charts –

despite selling well over a million copies, it was held off the top

spot by Bob Geldof’s Ethiopian charity project “Do They Know It’s

Christmas?” by Band Aid. “Last Christmas” was featured in the

2005 film “Christmas in Love”.

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

"Merry 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

Ohh

Oh, oh, baby

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

Ooh, ooh, 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

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)

A man under cover but you tore him apart

Maybe next year we'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special

Special

So long...
