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)

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

"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 (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!

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, 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 (you gave it away)

This year,

to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

(special)

Last Christmas,

I'll give it to someone special

(special!)

A face on a lover

with a fire in his heart

(I gave you mine)

A man under cover,

but you tore me apart

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone
