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

That doesn't surprise me

Merry Christmas, I wrap it up and send it

With a note saying "I love you" and 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



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'm just shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover but you tore me apart

Ooh, now I've found a real love

You'll never fool me again



Found a real love

Yeah, I found a real love



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 you gave it away

Now I'll give it to someone special

I'll give it to someone special
