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

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

Oh, oh, baby

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 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 his heart

I gave you my heart

A man under cover, but you tore him apart

Maybe next year I’ll give it to someone—

I’ll give it to someone special

Special

Someone

Someone

I’ll give it to someone—

I’ll give it to someone special

Who give me something in return

I’ll give it to someone—

Hold my heart and watch it burn

I’ll give it to someone—

I’ll give it to someone—

I’ll give it to someone special

I thought you were here to stay

How could you love me for a day

I thought you were someone special

Gave you my heart

I’ll give it to someone—

I’ll give it to someone—

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

You gave it away

I’ll give it to someone—

I’ll give it to someone—
