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 shyed
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 kiss 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 and friends with tired eyes
I´m hiding from you and your soul of eyes
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 girl on a cover but you tore her apart
Maybe this year
Maybe this year I´ll give it to someone special

Cause 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

And last Christmas
And this year
It won´t be anything like, anything like

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
