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 (you gave it away)

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to _someone_ special (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)

Ohh

Oh, oh, baby

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

Ooh, ooh, 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

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Special

A face on a lover __with a fire____________ in his heart (I gave you mine)

A man under cover but you __tore____ him apart

____maybe___ next year we'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special

Special

So long...
