[Work] Last Christmas

I had never heard this song before coming to Japan, and here I hear it ALL THE TIME. This is =THE= English-language Christmas song here.

My contact at the BoE asked for the lyrics, and when I tried to search for them on the intarweb, I found that EVERY version out there had mistakes in it.

Every. Single. One.

So, I transcribed it myself. You have no idea how many times I had to listen to this song, and it isn't even December yet. Of course, some might ask why, if I hate this song so much, I actually have a copy of it on my computer. Well, you can just SHUT your PIE HOLE.

Mood: Ill-tempered.

For the rest of you, I'm sharing my version of the lyrics for Last Christmas. This has no purpose other than, if you happen to need the exact lyrics to this version of Last Christmas, you won't have to transcribe it yourself. My Festivus gift to you. Enjoy.

:: Last Christmas ::
Wham! [extended version]

*Instrumental Intro*

*whispered* (Merry Christmas!)

(Ooo-oh)
(Ah-ha)

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. (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special. (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.

(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. (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special. (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. (special)

(Oh!)
(Oh whoa baby)
(Oooo)

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. (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special. (special)

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart,
But the very next day, you gave it away. (you gave me away)
(ohhhhhh)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special. (special)

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
(Gave you my heart)
A man undercover 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'll give me something in return.
(I'll give it to someone, 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 thought you were here to stay.
How can love be 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...

La la, la la la la la la la....
