Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah, aha
Ooh, ohh
Ohh

[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
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)

[Verse 1]
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
“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

[Chorus]
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, oh)
Oh, oh, baby

[Verse 2]
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 of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Ooh-hoo
Now I’ve found a real love, you’ll never fool me again

[Chorus]
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 (Ohh)
I’ll give it to someone special (Special)

[Verse 3]
A face of a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year
I’ll give it to someone, I’ll give it to someone special
Special…
Someone, someone, I’ll give it to someone, someone special

[Outro]
Who give me something in return
I’ll give it to someone—
Hold my heart and watch it burn
I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone special
I thought you were here to stay (Oh, oh)
How could you love me for a day
I thought you were someone special
Gave you my heart
I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone—
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
You gave it away
I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone—
La, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
