0:06Oh, oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh
0:13Ah-ah
0:18Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
0:22But the very next day, you gave it away
0:27This year, to save me from tears
0:31I'll give it to someone special
0:36Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
0:40But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
0:45This year, to save me from tears
0:49I'll give it to someone special (special)
1:12Once bitten and twice shy
1:17I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
1:21Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
1:26Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
1:31"Merry Christmas," I wrapped it up and sent it
1:34With a note saying, "I love you," I meant it
1:39Now I know what a fool I've been
1:43But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
1:48Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
1:51But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
1:57This year, to save me from tears
2:01I'll give it to someone special (special)
2:06Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
2:10But the very next day, you gave it away
2:14This year, to save me from tears
2:18I'll give it to someone special (special)
2:24Oh-oh, oh my, baby
2:42A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
2:46I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice
2:51My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
2:55Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
2:59A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
3:04A man undercover, but you tore me apart
3:08Ooh-hoo
3:13Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
3:18Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
3:21But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
3:26This year, to save me from tears
3:30I'll give it to someone special (special)
3:35Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (I gave you my heart)
3:40But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
3:45This year, to save me from tears
3:49I'll give it to someone special (special)
3:53A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)
3:58A man undercover, but you tore him apart
4:02Maybe next year, I'll give it to someone
4:07I'll give it to someone special (special!)
4:16So long!
4:25♪
