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, its 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 kiss me now, I know you'll 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.
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 girl under cover but you tore her apart.
Maybe this year maybe this year
I'll give it to someone special.
Because 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.
And last Christmas
And this year
won't be anything like anything like
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.
