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" and 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

　　A crowded room, friends with tired eyes

　　I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice

　　Oh my I thought you were someone to rely on.

　　Me...I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

　　A friend to discover with a fire in her heart. A girl under cover

　　But you tore me apart. You tore me apart oh

　　Now I've 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'll give it to someone special

　　A friend to discover with a fire in her heart.

　　A girl under cover but you tore me apart

　　Maybe next year I'll give it to someone special
