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

 Once bitten and twice shy 
 I keep my distance but you still catch my eye 
 Tell me baby, do you recognise 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

 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 his heart 
 A man undercover but you tore me apart 
 Ohh 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 his heart 
 A man undercover but you tore me apart (maybe next year) 
 I'll give it to someone, 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
