[Intro]
La da da da
Ooh
Da da da da, da da da, da

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
(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]
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)

[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

[Verse 4]
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Ooh-hoo
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again

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

[Bridge]
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Ohh
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special

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