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?
Well, 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 a fool I've been
But if you kiss 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 face on another with a fire in his heart
Someone undercover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
Special, someone
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas
(Who'll give me something in return)
The very next day you gave it away
(Hold my heart and watch it burn)
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
