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, 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

'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
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, special

crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
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
man undercover 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
(I give 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
(I'll give it to someone)

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, last Christmas
I'll give it to someone special
