Last Christmas I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
But 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
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 (give it to someone special)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
But 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)
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore him apart (tore him apart)
Uh-uh, now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
But 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
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
But 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)
