[Verse 1]
D
Once bitten and twice shy
Bm [ Em ]
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Em
Tell me baby do you recognize me?
A
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
[Verse 2]
D
"Merry Christmas!" I wrapped it up and sent it
(whispered)
Bm
With a note saying: "I love you!", I meant it
Em
Now I know what a fool I've been
A
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
[Chorus]

Crowded room, friends with tired eyes

My God, I thought you were someone to rely on

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
[Verse 4]
D
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Bm [ Em ]
A man undercover but you tore him apart
(To-o-ore me apa-art)
Em
Ooh-hoo
A
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
