It's been a year, it doesn't surprise me 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 "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 kissed 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'm giving it to someone special (Special) Last Christmas, I gave you my heart The very next day, you gave it away This year, to save me from tears I'm giving it to someone special
