All I Want For Christmas Is You
Carey Mariah Lyrics

I don't want a lot for Christmas
I do not want many things for Christmas

There is just one thing I need
I only need one thing

I don't care about the presents
I am not concerned with receiving gifts

Underneath the Christmas tree
Which are typically placed below the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking
I do not require a stocking to be hung

There upon the fireplace
Specifically, hanging from the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy
The presence or gifts of Santa Claus do not bring happiness to me

With a toy on Christmas day
Even with a toy given to me on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own
I desire to have you to myself

More than you could ever know
This desire is difficult to express in words

Make my wish come true
Fulfill my hope

All I want for Christmas is you, yeah
You are the thing I desire most for Christmas

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I will not make many requests this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow
I do not even have a preference for snow to fall

I just wanna keep on waiting
I am content waiting

Underneath the mistletoe
Often standing underneath a specific holiday decoration

I won't make a list and send it
I will not create and send a list of desired gifts

To the North Pole for Saint Nick
This list will not be sent to the mythical dwelling of Santa Claus

I won't even stay awake
I will not remain conscious

To hear those magic reindeer click
In order to listen to the sounds of the supernatural reindeer

'Cause I just want you here tonight
Because I long for your presence this evening

Holding on to me so tight
I want you to hold me close

What more can I do
I have done all that I can

Oh, baby all I want for Christmas is you
The one thing that would make my Christmas complete is you

All the lights are shining
The lights are bright and everywhere

So brightly everywhere
The lights are very bright and can be seen everywhere

And the sound of children's
The voices of children

Laughter fills the air
Their laughter can be heard all around

And everyone is singing
All people are participating in the singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing
I can audibly perceive the sound of jingling bells

Santa won't you bring me
A request for Santa to grant a wish

The one I really need
A specific thing that is deeply desired

Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly
Requesting this particular thing to happen expeditiously

This is all I'm asking for
The desire for one thing is the only request being made

I just wanna see my baby
The longing for one particular individual is strong

Standing right outside my door
To see this person right at the doorstep

All I want for Christmas is you, baby
This individual is the only thing that matters for Christmas

All I want for Christmas is you, baby
The one and only thing desired for this holiday is you

All I want for Christmas is you, baby
This specific person is the ultimate Christmas wish

All I want for Christmas is you, baby
You are the sole object of my desire for this holiday

All I want for Christmas is you, baby
The most important thing on my wish list is you
