Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I gave 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 gave it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I kept my distance by 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 kiss 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 gave it to someone special
Last christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it way
This year to save me from tears
I gave it to someone special
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
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Ooh, now I found a real love you'll never 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 gave it to someone special
Last christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it way
This year to save me from tears
I gave it to someone special
