Last Christmas Songtext
von Mary J. Blige

Oh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, oh, yeah, ooh

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (oh-ooh)
This year, to save me from tears
I′ll give it to someone special (oh, God)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (oh)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (ooh-ah)

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, and it doesn't surprise me

"Merry Christmas", I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, "I love you" and I meant it, yeah
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kiss me now, I know you′ll fool me again, yeah


Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (oh, you just gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears (save me some tears)
I′ll give it to someone special (oh-oh-oh, yeah)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away, yeah)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special, ah

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes (ooh, whoa)
I′m hiding from you and your soul's full of ice (ooh-ooh)
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me, I guess I was just a shoulder to cry on (ooh-ooh)

A face of a lover with a fire in his heart (ooh-ooh)
A man undercover, but you tore me apart (you did, yeah)
Now I think I′ve found a real love
And you'll never hurt me again, ooh, whoa, last Christmas

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (oh, you just gave it away, oh)
This year, to save me from tears (this year, to save me from tears)
I′ll give it to someone special (I'll go, and I'll give it to someone special, yeah)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (oh-oh, gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (oh, you just gave it away, oh)
This year, to save me from tears (this year, I gotta be more careful)
I′ll give it to someone special (I′ll give it to someone special, yeah)


Oh, last Christmas, I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart
And you just gave it away
You just gave it away, you just gave it away
Oh, yeah
