Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
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 kissed 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'll give 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'll give it to someone special
A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I hide from you
And your soul of ice
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 under cover but you tore me apart

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye

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 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'll give it to someone special
Last christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
