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 recognise me?
It's been a year, it wouldn't surprise me
(Merry Christmas) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it
But 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 of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart (tore me apart)
Ooh-hoo
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 (gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
