[Intro]
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 1]
Once beaten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognise me?
It's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

[Verse 2]
I wrapped it up and I 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'll fool me again

[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
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 crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm 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 fire in his heart
Man undercover but you tore me apart
Ooh baby, I found a real love
You'll never fool me again

[Instrumental Interlude]

[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

[Outro]
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
Last Christmas but you tore me apart
You tore me apart cause' I gave you my heart
