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
That doesn't surprise me
Merry Christmas, I wrap it up and send it
With a note saying "I love 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

Crowded room, friends with tired eyes
Hiding from you and your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me, I guess I'm just 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, now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again

Found a real love
Yeah, I found a real love

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 you gave it away
Now I'll give it to someone special
I'll give it to someone speci
