George Michael, English singer-songwriter, musician

“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 / 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.” (Song by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley of Wham!, 1984)
