(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
(2x)

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but tears still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize 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

(Repeat chorus)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
 I thought you were someone to rely on
Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

Chorus

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Ooh, now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again

(Repeat chorus)

I'll give it to someone special, special
Someone...someone
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special, special
