[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Hey, yeah, mmm

[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

[Verse 1]
Once bitten and twice as shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a yеar, it doesn't surprise me

[Verse 2]
"Mеrry 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 kiss me now, I know you'll fool me again, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (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'll give it to someone special (Special)
Oh, last Christmas, I gave you my heart (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'll give it to someone special (Special)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, oh
Hey, yeah

[Verse 3]
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 on a lover with a fire in her heart
A woman under cover, but you tore me apart (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
And now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, last Christmas, I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
But the very next day, you gave it away (Oh, you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'm gon' give it to someone special (Special)
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'll give it to someone special (Special)

[Outro]
A face on a lover with a fire in her heart (Gave you my)
A woman under cover, but you tore me apart
I'll give it to someone special, I'll give it to someone special
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh
I'll give it to someone special (Special)
Mmm, mmm

Meghan Trainor

Meghan Trainor is a pop singer-songwriter from Nantucket. Before launching her solo career, she wrote songs for the likes of Sia and Sabrina Carpenter. She entered pop stardom with the controversial but danceable body-positivity anthem “All About That Bass,” which led her 2015 debut LP, Title.

In 2016, Meghan released her sophomore effort Thank You, which was preceded by the smash single “NO.” Peaking at #3 on the Hot 100, top 20 track “Me Too” & the reggae-influenced “Better” supported the release of the album.

Staying reasonably quiet in 2017, Trainor dropped the single “I’m A Lady” for the “The The Lost Village.” Trainor underwent vocal surgery during the year and needed time to rest her voice before returning to the limelight.
