wham! - last christmas lyrics

[chorus:]
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

[chorus:]

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
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

[chorus]

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

[chorus x2]

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.
