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
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
I wrapped it up and stand here
With a note saying I love you,
Now I know what a fool I've been
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
Crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were
Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in her heart
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
