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
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 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.
