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

(YEAH) You gave it away

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

Now, I've found a real love you'll never 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

You gave it away

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

Last Christmas you broke my heart
