Last 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

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

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

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

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.

--WHAM

I had to write an evaluation for my Romantic Lit professor today. He was really great, I'm gonna miss him. He's the one who introduced me to Blake and Turner. So I guess I'm indebted. If you have a chance to take a course with him, you have my recommendation. His name is Colin Jager. He looks like something someone might draw of an english professor, with the poofy curly hair that makes him look like that greg guy from who's line is it anyway, and glasses like elvis costello. Good guy.

I had to thank him for turner and blake.
