Wham! – Last Christmas

When it comes to Christmass season like this, it’s hard to pass any street in my community without hearing one or two interesting song such as this by Wham!

Talking about Wham!, they were an English pop duo formed consisting of talented singers and songwriters, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley.

This song came from the album, Music from the Edge of Heaven, released in the year 1986.

However, “Last Christmas” by Wham! is a song about heartbreak and learning from past mistakes.

In this song, the singer talks about a Christmas when they gave their heart to someone special, only to be let down.

This person they trusted didn’t feel the same, and the love wasn’t returned. It’s a mix of sad and hopeful feelings, as the singer remembers the hurt but decides to move on.

The lyrics capture the moment of realizing someone isn’t right for you, even if it hurts to let go.

The singer reflects on how they shared something meaningful but was left feeling disappointed.

Now, they’re wiser and ready to protect their heart, promising that next time they’ll give their love to someone who truly deserves it.

Wih that said, despite the heartbreak, the song has a hopeful tone, as if Wham! is ready for a fresh start and a happier future.

It’s a reminder that even after disappointment, we can learn, grow and look forward to finding real love someday, especially this very years Christmas holiday. Enjoy it!!!

Lyrics;

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—

……..THE END
