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

Once bitten, and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby
Do you recognize me?
Girl, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Yeah, yeah, yeah
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 kiss 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

Oh oh, oh
Give it to someone, oh oh

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
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man 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
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 face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore him apart, so
Next year, I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
