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 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 Oh oh Oh oh Oh oh A crowded room, friends with tired eyes I hide from you and your soul of ice I thought you were someone to rely on Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on Face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man under cover, but you tore me apart Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
