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

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

Once bitten and 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 wouldn'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 kiss me now, I'll know you've fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
(You gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Crowded room, friends with tired eyes
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

The face of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart
Now I've 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
(You gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)

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

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