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 year at Christmas I gave you my heart
But already the next day you threw it away
This year it's clear I'm gonna spare myself the tears
My heart will go to someone else
Last year at Christmas, ice-cold weather
I wander through the streets, tinsel in my hair
Stomachache from the Christmas goose
Shines the full Christmas glow
But I'm really not in the mood to celebrate
Because I've lost everything
Everything beautiful and good
Still can't believe
I almost stuck myself with a Christmas bauble
Last year at Christmas I gave you my heart
But already the next day you threw it away
This year it's clear I'm gonna spare myself the tears
My heart will go to someone else
Last year at Christmas
I slaughter my piggy bank
And think this just can't be true
I wanted so badly to give you something really special
But at those prices that's out of the question
Sure, you always ignite a real fire of love in me
But Chanel perfume's simply too pricey for me
I wanna give you love, man
I hope I'll think of something, ya know
Last year at Christmas I gave you my heart
But already the next day you threw it away
This year it's clear I'm gonna spare myself the tears
My heart will go to someone else
At the Christmas market I see a stall
With pretty colorful gingerbread hearts
They look really funny and they're crazy cheap too
I go up to the saleswoman
And say I want one of those
It said 'You sweet mouse' on it
And I gave it to you
But the way you reacted
When I think about it today
I cry all over my pillow
Because you just chucked it in the trash can
Last year at Christmas I gave you my heart
But already the next day you threw it away
This year it's clear I'm gonna spare myself the tears
My heart will go to someone else
I gave you my heart, I know
That sadly it was only a gingerbread heart
I gave you my heart, but in the end
Guess it just didn't taste that good to you
Last year at Christmas I gave you my heart
But already the next day you threw it away
This year it's clear I'm gonna spare myself the tears
My heart will go to someone else
