Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

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?

It's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

The very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

"Merry Christmas" I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying, "I love you", I meant it ("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 (I gave you my heart)

But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)

This year, to save me from tears

I'm giving it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

The very next day, you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'm giving it to someone special
