Once bitten, twice shy
I keep my distance,
But you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognise 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
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
A crowded room, friends with tirеd eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you wеre 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 undercover, 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
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
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
