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

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 and it doesn't surprise me

Happy 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

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

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

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 with a fire in his heart

A man under cover but you tore me apart

Maybe next year

I'll give it to someone, 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

I'll give it to someone special
