Last Christmas
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye

Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
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

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

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

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I hide 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

Face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
