Merry Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
This year to save me from tears
But the very next day, you gave it away
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
A girl undercover but you tore her apart
This year to save me from tears
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
And this year to save me from tears
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
Once bitten and twice shy
'Cause last Christmas, I gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I'll give it to someone special
With a note saying, "I love you", I meant it
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
A crowded room and friends with tired eyes
But the very next day, you gave it away
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
This year to save me from tears
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
This year to save me from tears
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
But the very next day, you gave it away
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone special
Maybe this year, maybe this year
And this year won't be anything like
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
And last Christmas
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
Anything like
I'll give it to someone special
I'll give it to someone special
But the very next day, you gave it away
