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.

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 kiss me now,
I know you'd fool me again.
