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, 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

 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, special

 A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
 I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
 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 man undercover 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
 (I give you my heart)
 But the 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
 (I'll give it to someone)

 Last Christmas I gave you my heart
 But the 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, special

 Last Christmas, last Christmas
 I'll give it to someone special
