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 (You gave it away)

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

(Special, special, 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, it doesn't surprise me

Merry Christmas, 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

(You gave it away)

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Ooh-ooh

Oooh, baby

Yeah!

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 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, ooh-hoo

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

(You gave it away)

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special (Special)

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

(I gave you my heart)

But the very next day you gave it away

(You gave me away, oh)

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

(I'll give it to someone special)

Special, ooh ooh

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

(I gave you my heart)

A man under cover but you tore him apart

Hmm-hmm, ooh-hoo

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special (Special)

Hmmm

Gave you my

Aaah
