[Verse 1]
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart
Ooh, now I found a real love
You'll never fool me again

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Once bitten and twice shy
I kept my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doеsn't surprise me
"Happy Christmas," I wrapped it up and sеnt 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
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
[Instrumental Outro]
