Ah, ah-ah, ooh-whoa 00:06

Ah-ah 00:12

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart 00:17

But the very next day, you gave it away 00:21

This year, to save me from tears 00:27

I'll give it to someone special 00:31

00:54

Once bitten and twice shy 01:12

I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye 01:16

Tell me, baby, do you recognize me? 01:21

Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me 01:25

"Happy Christmas," I wrapped it up and sent it 01:29

With a note saying, "I love you," I meant it 01:34

Now I know what a fool I've been 01:38

But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again 01:42

Oh-oh 02:23

Oh, my baby 02:27

02:30

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes 02:42

I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice 02:46

My God, I thought you were someone to rely on 02:51

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on 02:55

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart 02:59

A man undercover, but you tore me apart 03:04

Ooh-hoo 03:11

Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again 03:13

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart 03:17

But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away) 03:21

This year, to save me from tears 03:26

I'll give it to someone special (special) 03:30

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart) 03:35

But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away) 03:40

This year, to save me from tears 03:45

I'll give it to someone special (special) 03:48

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart) 03:53

A man undercover, but you tore him apart 03:59

Maybe next year, I'll give it to someone 04:05

Lyrics:

[English]

Ah, ah-ah, ooh-whoa

Ah-ah

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)

...

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

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, my 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 undercover, but you tore me apart

Ooh-hoo

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 (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)

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)

A man undercover, but you tore him apart

Maybe next year, I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special (special)

...

Someone
