[Verse 1]
Once bitten, twice as shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
It's been a year and it doesn'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
If you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again

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

[Verse 2]
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought that you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder just to cry on
A face of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart
Ooh, now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again
[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (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

[Verse 3]
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Man undercover, but you tore him apart
Maybe next year
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special

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