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 (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I`ll give it to someone special (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
(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`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 (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
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I`ll give it to someone special (special)

Oh oh, oh my baby
Ooh ooh-ooh

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
face on a lover with a fire in his heart
man under cover but you tore me apart, 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 (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
But the very next day you gave it away (you gave me away)
This year, to save me from tears (oh)
I`ll give it to someone special (special)

face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)
man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year
I`ll give it to someone, I`ll give it to someone (special) special
Someone, someone
