Song: Last Christmas- Wham

Vocabulary:

once bitten, twice shy

You still catch my eye

Merry Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it 

I loved you and I meant it

I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away

someone to rely on

I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

you tore me apart

you´ll never fool me again
