Lyrics of "Last Christmas" - Top Christmas songs

Happy 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 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

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

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 undercover, 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

I gave you my heart

A man undercover, but you tore him apart

Maybe next year I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special

Special

Someone

Someone

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special

Who give me something in return

I'll give it to someone

Hold my heart and watch it burn

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special

I thought you were here to stay

How could you love me for a day

I thought you were someone special

Gave you my heart

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

You gave it away

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone

The song originated one Sunday in 1984 when George Michael and Andrew Ridgely were visiting Michael's parents, according to Songfacts.

Ridgely recalled to The Mail On Sunday in 2017:

"We'd had a bite to eat and were sitting together relaxing with the television on in the background when, almost unnoticed, George disappeared upstairs for an hour or so. When he came back down, such was his excitement, it was as if he had discovered gold which, in a sense, he had.

We went to his old room, the room in which we had spent hours as kids recording pastiches of radio shows and jingles, the room where he kept a keyboard and something on which to record his sparks of inspiration, and he played me the introduction and the beguiling, wistful chorus melody to 'Last Christmas.' It was a moment of wonder.

George had performed musical alchemy, distilling the essence of Christmas into music. Adding a lyric which told the tale of betrayed love was a masterstroke and, as he did so often, he touched hearts."
