Lyrics Last Christmas - Sam Sparro

Last Christmas

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 somebody special, baby
Once bitten, 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
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 somebody special, baby, mmm
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 undercover but you tore me apart
Ooh, now I’ve found a real love you’ll never fool me again
Oh, last Christmas, I gave you my heart
And you gave it away
So this year, to save me from tears
I’m gonna give it to somebody special, mmm
Somebody who cares for me
Someone who’ll be there for me
This Christmas
The one after that
And the one after that
