[Chorus]
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you took 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 took it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

[Verse 1]
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But just don't catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well its 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'll fool me again
[Chorus]
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you took 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 took it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special, special

[Verse 2]
A 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 her lover
With a fire in her heart
A girl undercover.....she tore me apart Ohhh
Now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again

[Chorus]
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you took 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 took 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 took it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

(Fade)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you took it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
