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 specialOnce 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, that doesn't surprise meMerry Christmas, I wrap it up and send it
With a note saying "I love you" and I meant it
Now, I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me againLast 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 specialCrowded room, friends with tired eyes
Hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me, I guess, I'm just shoulder to cry onA face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Oh, now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me againFound a real love
Yeah, I found a real loveLast 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 specialLast Christmas I gave you my heart
But you gave it away
Now I'll give it to someone special
I'll give it to someone special
