Last christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day, you gave it away

And this year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special.

Once bitten and twice shy

I kept my distance but you still catch my eye

Tell me baby, do you recognize me?

Ha, 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 kiss me now, you'll never fall me again.

Last christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day, you gave it away

And this year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special, 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.

With a face of a lover with a fire in his heart

A man undercover but you tore me apart

Oh, oh, 'cause now I found true love

You'll never fool me again.

Last christmas, I gave you my heart

The very next day, you gave it away

And this year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special.

I gave you my heart

You gave me away.

And last christmas, I gave you my heart

The very next day, you gave it away

And this year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special.
