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 rolling 
It doesn't surprise me 
Merry Christmas 
I wrapped it up and sent it 
Merry Christmas 
I loved you and 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 
A crowded room and friends with tired eyes 
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice 
I get 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 on a cover but you tore me apart 
Merry Christmas 
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 
Special 
Special 
Special 
Special
