All I Want for Christmas Is You Lyrics
[Intro]
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah
[Verse 1]
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need (And I)
Don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don’t need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace (Ah)
Santa Claus won’t make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day
[Chorus]
I just want you for my own (Ooh)
More than you could ever know (Ooh)
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
[Verse 2]
Oh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas
I won’t even wish for snow (And I)
I’m just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won’t make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick (Ah)
I won’t even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
[Chorus]
‘Cause I just want you here tonight (Ooh)
Holding on to me so tight (Ooh)
What more can I do?
Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
[Bridge]
Oh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere (So brightly, baby)
And the sound of children’s
Laughter fills the air (Oh, oh yeah)
And everyone is singing (Oh yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing (Oh)
Santa, won’t you bring me the one I really need? (Yeah, oh, oh)
Won’t you please bring my baby to me?
