[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Hey, yeah, mm-mm

[Chorus]
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 (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
But the very next day, you gave it away (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
This year, to save me from tears (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'll give it to someone special (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 1]
Once bitten and twice as shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a yеar, it doesn't surprise me

[Verse 2]
"Mеrry 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'll fool me again, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart; ooh-ooh-ooh)
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away; ooh-ooh-ooh)
This year, to save me from tears (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'll give it to someone special (Special)
Oh, last Christmas, I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart; ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away; ooh-ooh-ooh)
This year, to save me from tears (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'll give it to someone special (Special)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Hey, hey

[Verse 3]
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hidin' 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 her heart
A woman under cover, but you tore me apart (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, ast Christmas, I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart; ooh-ooh-ooh)
But the very next day, you gave it away (Oh, you gave it away; ooh-ooh-ooh)
This year, to save me from tears (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'll give it to someone special (Special)
Oh, last Christmas, I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart; ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away; ooh-ooh-ooh)
This year, to save me from tears (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'll give it to someone special (Special)

[Outro]
A face on a lover with a fire in her heart (Gave you my)
A woman under cover, but you tore me apart
My heart
I'll give it to someone special, I'll give it to someone special (Special, ooh)
Hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'll give it to someone special (Special)
Mmm, mmm (Ooh-ooh)
