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
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'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, 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 apart
Maybe this year, maybe this year
I'll give it to someone special

Cause, 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 ill 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
