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 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 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, gave it away
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
For anyone
Everyone listening
Merry Christmas
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
Merry Christmas
