The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away

The very next day you gave it away

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I've found the real love, now I found
You'll never fool me again!
