Last Christmas - Dane Rexton

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day, you gave it away Well, this year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Once bitten, twice shy I keep my distance but you still catch my eye Tell me baby don't you recognise 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 Well, this year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Ooh no, yay 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 her heart Or a man undercover but you tore me apart Ooo-hoo Well now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again 'cause Last Christmas, I gave you my heart But the very next day, you gave it away Well, 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 her heart Or a man undercover but you tore me apart Maybe next year I'll give it to someone special Last Christmas, I gave you my heart The next day, you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Give it to someone special I'll give it to someone special Last christmas I gave you my heart

I felt your arms around me As I silently leaned into your side That farewell was me to you What I didn't know was true Words unspoken in that long goodbye The Lonely Ocean's background sigh Leaves the heart ever wond'ring why California California's got nothin for me There was magic in the air But nothing heartfelt happened there to keep All the roads have led there all your life To the beaches and the sun I watched the planes cut through the air And the shiny things that kept you there No competing with your Number one I sent to you my wishes in a bottle And I cast on the sea That bottle never reached your shores And I don't remember anymore What I said or hoped you'd do for me California California's got nothin for me There was magic in the air But nothing heartfelt happened there to keep California remember dreaming in the evening sky Neon lights all over town Against the sun as it went down for me California wasted you with promises unkept The Great Pacific ever holds The secrets that you never told And you're releasing me to fly back home And you're releasing me to fly back home And I'm releasing you to fly back home
