Refrain

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

Couplet 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

Couplet 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

Refrain

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

Couplet 3

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from You
And your soul of ice is
My God I thought
You were someone to rely on
Me I guess I was
A shoulder to cry on

Couplet 4

A face on a lover with
A fire in his heart
A man under cover
But You tore me apart
Now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again

Refrain

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

Couplet 4

A face on a lover
With a fire in his heart
A man under cover
But You tore him apart
I'll give it to someone special
