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? Yeah? 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'd 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 This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special (Special) Ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh A crowded room, friends with tired eyes I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice Oh, God, I thought you were someone to rely on Oh, me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on A face of a lover with a fire in his heart (fire in his heart) A man undercover, but you tore me apart (tore me apart) Ooh-ooh-ooh-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 (special) Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (gave you my heart) But the very next day, you gave it away To save me from tears I'll give it to someone special
