1. If you once bitten then you twice shy I keep my distance But you still catch my eye Tell me baby Do you recognize me? It's been a year So 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.
Chorus (x2):
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
2. A crowded room, friends with tired eyes I'm hiding from you, and your soul is full of ice I thought you were someone to rely on, Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
Bridge:
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man under cover but you tore me apart Now I've found a real love So if you kiss me now, you'll never fool me again
Chorus (x2). Bridge.
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man under cover but you tore him apart Next year, yeah maybe next year I'll give it to someone special.
