[Intro]
Gave you my heart
You gave it away
Save me from tears
You gave it away

[Chorus]
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)
But the very next day you gave it away (Gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears (Save me from tears)
I'll give it to someone special (You gave it away)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)
But the very next day you gave it away (Gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (Woah, oh-oh-oh, gave it away)

[Verse 1]
Once bitten and twice shy (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
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 kissed me now, I bet you'd fool me again (Fool again)
[Chorus]
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
But the very next day you gave it away (Gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears (Oh-oh-oh)
I'll give it to someone special (Woah, oh-oh-oh, gave it away)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)
But the very next day (Very next day) you gave it away (You gave it away)
This year (This year), to save me from tears (Oh-oh-oh)
I'll give it to someone special

[Verse 2]
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes (Oh-oh-oh)
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice (Woah-oh-oh)
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on (Rely on)
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart (Tore me apart)
Oh, oh, now (I've found) I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again

[Bridge]
Ah
Gave it (Tada)
Away (Away, ah)
Gave it away
Gave it away (Ah, ah, ah)
[Chorus]
(Gave it away) Last Christmas I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)
But the very next day you gave it away (I gave it away)
This year (This year), to save me from tears (To save me from tears)
I'll give it to someone special, to someone (Ah)

[Outro]
(Woh-oh-oh, woh-oh)
Special (Woh-oh-oh-oh, woh)
I give it to someone, I gave it to someone special
