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  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)  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  But 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 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 girl under cover but you tore me apart  Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again  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  A face on a lover with a fire in her heart  A girl under cover buy you tore him apart  Maybe next year I'll give it to someone  I'll give it to someone special
