[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
And the very next day, you gave 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 you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

[Verse 2]
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

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

[Verse 3]
A 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

[Verse 4]
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore him apart
Now, I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again

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

[Outro]
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone special
