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 
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 
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 

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 
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 
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 

face on a lover with a fire in his heart 
man under cover buy you tore him apart 
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone 
I'll give it to someone special
