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.
One's better than twice shy
but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
I wrapped it up in sandal
With a note saying I love you.
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now,
I know you'd fool me again
Oh, 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
For this year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
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
I face another with a fire in his heart
Now I've found a real love,
you'll never fool me again
Oh, 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, a fire in his heart
A man undercover, you tore him apart
