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 (special)

Hey, yo, Julian
Don't be selfish, let me grab a verse real quick
Hey

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
So, tell me baby do you recognize me?
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 and 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
The very next day 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

I'll give it to someone special
Special (special)
I'll give it to someone special

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice
My God, thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I'm just 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 lover
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 (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 my heart)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Merry Christmas
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special (special)
