[CHORUS:] 
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 
 
[CHORUS:] 
 
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 
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 
 
[CHORUS] 
 
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 
 
[CHORUS x2] 
 
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart 
A man under cover buy you tore him apart 
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone 
I'll give it to someone special.
