[Intro]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
Yeah, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

[Verse 2]
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
Just kiss me now, I know you'll fool me again

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
A crowded room, yeah, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
I thought you were someone to rely on
I guess I'm just a shoulder that you cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart
Ooh-ooh, 'cause you came and went
Now I found a real love, you'll never fool me again

[Chorus]
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 (Gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (Away)
This year, to save me from tears (Save me from tears)
I'll give it to someone special (Special)

[Outro]
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)
A man undercover, but you tore him apart
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
