Last Christmas I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
But the very next day you gave it away (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
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
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
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Oh, oh, now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (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 (I'll give it to someone special, baby)
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
