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 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 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

A crowded room, and friends with tired eyes, I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
