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

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

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

hiding from you and your soul of ice

my god i thought you were someone to rely on me

i i guess i was a shoulder to cry on a face

on a lover with a fire in his heart

a girl under cover but you tore her apart

maybe this year

maybe this year

i'll give it to someone special

cause 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

last christmas

this year won't be anything like anything you like

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
