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 Merry 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 kiss 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 This year, to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special I will 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 undercover, but you tore me apart Now I 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 This year, to save me from tears I will 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 I'll give it to someone special I gave, I gave, I gave you my heart But I'll give it to someone special
