Last Christmas - Sam Sparro

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
