圣诞佳节，是热恋的人表达爱意的特殊日子，也是失恋的人怀念惆怅的特殊日子。

[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

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

(whispered) Merry Christmas,

I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying "I love you"

and 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]

A crowded room

Friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you

And your soul of ice

Oh my I thought you were

Someone to rely on

Me?

I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A friend to discover with a fire in her heart

A girl under cover but you tore me apart

You tore me apart, ooo-ooo

Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

[Chorus x2]

A friend to discover with a fire in her heart

A girl under cover but you tore me apart

[Spoken] Maybe next year,

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special.
