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, oh no

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
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

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
Ah oh
Ah oh, baby

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
Oh my, I thought you were someone to rely on me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A friend to discover with a fire in her heart
A girl under cover but you tore me apart
You tore me apart, ooh ooh
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

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 friend to discover with a fire in her heart
A girl under cover but you tore me apart
Maybe next year
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
Ohh
