    • Warm Up Song: Last Christmas by WHAM (George Michael) Assignment


      Last Christmas I gave you my heartBut the very next day you gave it awayThis year, to save me from tearsI'll give it to someone special
      Last Christmas I gave you my heartBut the very next day you gave it awayThis year, to save me from tearsI'll give it to someone special
      Once bitten and twice shyI keep my distance, but you still catch my eyeTell 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 itWith a note saying "I love you", I meant itNow I know what a fool I've beenBut if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again.

      Last Christmas I gave you my heartBut the very next day you gave it awayThis year, to save me from tearsI'll give it to someone special
      Last Christmas I gave you my heartBut the very next day you gave it awayThis year, to save me from tearsI'll give it to someone special
      OohOh, oh, baby
      A crowded room, friends with tired eyesI'm hiding from you and your soul of iceMy God, I thought you were someone to rely onMe? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.

      A face on a lover with a fire in his heartA man undercover, but you tore me apart.Oh, oh now I've found a real loveYou'll never fool me again.

      Last Christmas I gave you my heartBut the very next day you gave it awayThis year, to save me from tearsI'll give it to someone special, special
      Last Christmas I gave you my heartBut the very next day you gave it awayThis year, to save me from tearsI'll give it to someone special
      (Special)
      A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)A man under cover but you tore him apartMaybe next year I'll give it to someoneI'll give it to someone special.
