[CHORUS:]
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

[CHORUS:]


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


[CHORUS]


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


[CHORUS x2]


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.
