[Intro]
I gave you my heart
Merry Christmas
[Verse 1]
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
It's been a year, you know it doesn't surprise me
Merry Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
Merry Christmas, I love you and 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]
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)
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)
[Post-Chorus]
Special
Special
Special
[Verse 2]
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
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
[Chorus]
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)
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)
[Outro]
Special
Special
Special
Special
