Lirik

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 under cover, 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 under cover, 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

Makna lirik.

Meskipun berlatar musim Natal, pesan lagu ini bersifat universal: tentang harapan, kehilangan, dan keinginan untuk memulai kembali. Baris terakhir seperti "Maybe next year, I'll give it to someone special" membawa pesan optimisme, menjadikannya tak hanya lagu tentang kesedihan tetapi juga harapan.

Lirik Last Christmas ditulis oleh George Michael dan mengisahkan tentang cinta yang berakhir dengan pengkhianatan. Baris pembuka seperti "Last Christmas, I gave you my heart, but the very next day, you gave it away" menyiratkan ironi yang mendalam: momen romantis di musim Natal justru berubah menjadi kenangan pahit. Lagu ini menghadirkan cerita cinta yang relatable bagi banyak orang, meskipun terbungkus dalam suasana liburan yang hangat.
