Falling for You
Cheetah Girls 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
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
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
Ohh, baby my baby
You know I love you
So baby, baby my baby
You know I love you
So baby, baby My Baby
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
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
I won't even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click
I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do, baby
All I want for Christmas is you
Oh, baby my baby
You know I love you
So baby, baby my baby\
You know I love you
So baby, baby my baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of childrens' laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me
The one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door
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
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
Oh, baby my baby
You know I love you
So baby, baby my baby
You know I love you
So baby, baby my baby
The Cheetah Girls' version of "All I Want for Christmas is You" is a holiday classic that expresses the singer's love for someone special during Christmas time. The song is about the feeling of wanting someone to share the joy of the holiday season with, and is based on the idea that love is the most precious gift of all.
The song opens with the singer repeatedly saying that she doesn’t want anything for Christmas except for one thing, which is her lover. She emphasizes that presents are not a priority for her, and what she truly desires is the lover that makes everything in life so much sweeter. She explicitly states that what she wants is for her lover to be with her during this special time of year – “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.”
The song then goes on to describe the magical moments that take place during Christmas time, such as the lights and the sound of children's laughter everywhere. The singer highlights the joy she feels in her heart when she thinks about her lover during this time, and how much she longs to have her lover close to her so they can share this special time together. The song is a beautiful expression of love and the joy of the holiday season, all wrapped up in one.

The one I really need
What is truly desired is love and companionship
Won't you please bring my baby to me
Request to have a significant other for the holiday
This is all I'm asking for
My request is very simple
I just wanna see my baby
All I really want is to be with you
Standing right outside my door
I want to be physically close to you on the holiday
