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
Once bitten, 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
and it doesn't surprise me
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,
you'd fool me again
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.
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
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 was a shoulder to cry on
A face of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but
you tore him apart
Maybe nex t year, next year
I'll give it to someone spe cial
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
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
Oh, 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
