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 shied 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 kiss 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 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 

crowded room and 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 her heart 
girl on a cover but you tore her apart 
Maybe this year 
Maybe this year I'll give it to someone special 

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

And last Christmas Last year 
It won't be anything like, anything like 

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 or give it to someone
 
Last Christmas I wrapped it up and sent it 
Saying 'I love you', I meant it 
Maybe this year 
Maybe this year I'll give it to someone special 
Last Christmas
