Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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]
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 3]
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 kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
[Verse 4]
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 5]
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 6]
A crowded room, 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 of a lover with a fire in her heart
A girl undercover, but you tore me apart
Ooh, ooh, now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again
[Verse 7]
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 8]
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 9]
A face of a lover with a fire in her heart
A girl undercover, but you tore me apart
Maybe next year, I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
