All I Want for Christmas Is You
ᴴᴰ Michael Buble & Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 (I)
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
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)
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (and I)
I just wanna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick (I)
I won't even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click
'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)
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air (oh)
And everyone is singing (oh, yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me (yeah)
The one I really need (oh)
Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for (I)
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door
I just want you for my own (ooh)
More than you could ever know (ooh)
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you (you, baby)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby

This is just EPIC!! Mariah should've recorded this song with Michael Buble and not the biebs! This is just TIMELESS!! Merry Christmas from the PHILIPPINES!! We LOVE US SOME MIMI!! :)

This was only a year ago. Anyone doubting her needs to watch this. She's had a rough 2014 so we need to give her some slack. She's still slaying!
Rod B.
Derrek, thank you I feel the same way. Everyone is running her performance this year in the ground but seriously after having twins, relationship issues and singing these difficult songs she recorded when she was much younger... So what if she had to squeak a few of those notes out.
Major Shipper
Killed it.
Patrick T.
Love this rendition!!! Love her adlibs and note changes! She sounds fantabulous!!!! And so does Michael. Adorbs!
Juris Raudulis
Can't imagine anyone else for this song!Mariah and Michael are best!

First I thought this can not be live but then i said to me, this Ms. Carey she can sing. :-) Miley, Rihanna, Katy and Gaga look and learn from the Queen.
