(Intro: 8 bars)

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 (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

​

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
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 (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 (special)

  

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice

My gosh 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 man undercover but you tore him apart
Now I've found a real love

You'll never 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 (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 (special)
