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
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 (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 (save me from tears)
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 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 under cover but you tore me apart oh yeah (ooh ohh)
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

Last christmas
I gave you my heart (i gave you my heart)
But the very next day yougave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
