| 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 | 
| (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 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 (You gave it away) | 
| This year, to save me from tears | 
| I’ll give it to someone special (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 (Special, oh) | 
| Oh, oh | 
| 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 (You gave it away) | 
| This year, to save me from tears | 
| I’ll give it to someone special (Special) | 
| Last Christmas, I gave you my heart | 
| But the very next day you gave it away (You gave me away) | 
| This year, to save me from tears | 
| I’ll give it to someone special (Special) | 
| Oohh, oohh |
