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.

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.

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 him apart,
Ooh hoo, now I've found a real love,
You'll never fool me again.
