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?
It's been a year,
It doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it,
With a note,
Saying "I love you", I meant it

Now I know,
What I 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

A crowded room,
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you,
And you're so revived

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 his heart
A man undercover,
But you tore him apart
Maybe next year,
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
