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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, special.

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover, but you tore him apart (tore me apart)

Maybe I'll give it to someone special, special

So long.
