Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone 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
"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
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day, you gave it away
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'd be someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart
Now I know
I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
A face of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart
Now I know what a fool I've been
I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
A face of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart
I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
