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 



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 

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 

But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again 



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 



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 



A face on a lover with a fire in heart 

A girl under cover but you tore me apart 

Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again 



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 (they have to be special) 



A face on a lover with a fire in heart 

A girl under cover but you tore me apart 

You know what I'll do next time 

I'll give it to someone special, they gotta be 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 



Last Christmas, I gave you my heart 

But the very next day you gave it away 

This year, to save me from tears (I know I gotta do) 

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 know I gotta do) 

I'll give it to someone special
