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.

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,
It doesn't surprise me.

Happy Christmas.
I wrapped it up and sent it,
With a note,
Saying "I love you", I meant it.

Now I know,
What I 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,
Friends with tired eyes.
I'm hiding from you,
And you're so revived.

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 undercover,
But you tore him apart.
Maybe next year,
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.
