Chorus:
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
'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 2x)

Bridge:
a face on a lover with a fire in his heart
a man under cover but you tore him apart
maybe this year, maybe this year
I'll give it to someone special

(Chorus 3x)

last Christmas
I gave you my heart
this year
I'll give it to someone special
last Christmas
I gave you my heart
this year
I'll give it to someone special
last Christmas
I gave you my heart...
