Hey, hey
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
And the very next day you gave it away
So this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special!

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But still you 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!

Chorus: (x2)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
And the very next day you gave it away
So this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special!

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
But me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart, oh, oh, baby
Now I've found a real love, you won't fool me again

Chorus
Last Christmas I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
And the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)
So this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(I'm gonna give it to someone special!)

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special!
(I'm gonna give it to someone special!)
