Last christmas 
I gave you my heart (gave you my heart) 
But the very next day you gave it away (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 (Happy Christmas, 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 

Last christmas 
I gave you my heart (gave you my heart) 
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away) 
This year 
To save me from tears 
I'll give it to someone special (I'll give it 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 (save me from tears) 
I'll give it to someone special (I'll give it someone special) 

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum 
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 (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 under cover but you tore me apart (ooh ohh) 
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again 

Last christmas 
I gave you my heart (gave you my heart) 
But the very next day (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 

Last christmas 
I gave you my heart 
But the very next day you (you gave me away) gave it away 
This year 
To save me from tears 
I'll give it to someone special (special) 

Gave you my heart
