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 (I gave 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 (gave you my heart)
But the very next day
You gave it away (gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Oh
Oh-oh-uh
Oh-oh-oh
Uh-uh
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
Uh-uh, now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
You gave it away
I'll give it to someone special
(Last Christmas)
(I gave you my heart) I gave you my heart
(But the very next day)
(You gave it away) you gave it away
(This year, to save me from tears)
I'll give it to someone special
(A face on a lover with a fire in his heart)
I gave you mine
(A man under cover, but you tore him apart)
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
