Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
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

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

"Merry 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
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
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)

Oh, oh baby


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
Yeah baby
Now I've found a real love, never fool me again


Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
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 (gave you my heart)
The very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears (to save me from tears)

I'll give it to someone special (special)

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)

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


Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
The very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)

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