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, ooh whoa

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

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
Ooh 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
But the very next day
You gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(I'll give it to someone special)
