Last Christmas

First released by Wham! in 1984 Last Christmas is now a classic Christmas song. Last Christmas actually peaked at the number 2 slot in the UK charts because of Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas? single. Far from being bitter about missing out on the coveted Christmas number 1 spot the Wham boys donated all of their profits for the single to the Ethiopian famine.
Last Christmas actually holds the record for the most number of records sold to peak at number 2 in the UK charts.

Wham re-released the single in 1985 and again in 1986.

In 2007 Last Christmas hit the UK's ITunes Top 10.

A number of people that I know feel like it's Christmas until they hear the song on the radio. People in Germany must feel the same way as every year since 1997 Last Christmas has entered the German Singles chart.

This lens is proud to have made 3rd place in the Holiday Movies & Music section of Home for the Holidays 2008.

Last Christmas Lyrics

Written by George Michael

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 recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy 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

(Oooh. Oooh 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
Oooh Oooh
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

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
(Gave you my heart)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
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'll 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 special
I've got you here to stay
I can love you 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

I am a real 80s chick, I love the song 1985 - although I'm a little concerned that it was written about me :) I love 80s pop, new wave, new romantics,... more »
