[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
And then the very next day, you gave it away
Well this year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to somebody special
Woah, last Christmas, I gave you my heart
And then the very next day, you gave it away
Well this year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to somebody special, ah

[Verse 1]
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, a-do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it wouldn't surprise me

[Verse 2]
"Merry Christmas", I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying I loved you, I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if ya kiss me now, I bet you'd fool me again
And I said

[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
And then the very next day, you gave it away
Oh, this year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to somebody special
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I keep on hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone I could rely on
Me? I guess I was just a shoulder you could cry on

[Verse 4]
A face of a lover with a fire in his heart
Got a man under cover but you tore me apart
No, no-oh-oh-oh-oh
But now I've found a love, you'll never fool me again
I said

[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
And then the very next day, you gave it away
Woah oh oh, this year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to somebody special, ah

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Ooh, last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, I'll save me from tears
And I'll give it to somebody, give it to somebody
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
Then the very next day, you gave me away
(This year) But l'm gonna save my tears
And I'll give it to somebody special, ooh
[Outro]
[Scatting]
Ay, ah
I'm gonna give it to somebody special, ah
