All I Want For Christmas Is You
Delilah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's 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
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 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
You 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
'Cause 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
You
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
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
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby

I don't want a lot for Christmas
I don't have a long wishlist for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
There's only one thing I truly desire
I don't care about the presents
Material gifts are not important to me
Underneath the Christmas tree
The physical objects placed under the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
I only want your presence and affection
More than you could ever know
Your value to me is immeasurable
Make my wish come true
Grant me the one thing I desire
All I want for Christmas
The sole thing I desire during this festive season
Is you
Is your company and love
I don't need to hang my stocking
Having a traditional Christmas stocking is not necessary
There upon the fireplace
Placement of the stocking on the mantelpiece
Santa Claus won't make me happy
The presence of Santa Claus alone won't bring me joy
With a toy on Christmas day
Receiving a toy as a gift on Christmas day
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't make excessive demands this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I don't have the desire for snow on Christmas
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
I will patiently await
Underneath the mistletoe
Positioned beneath the symbolic mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
I won't create a written inventory and deliver it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
Mailing the list to the North Pole for Santa Claus
I won't even stay awake to
I won't stay alert to
Hear those magic reindeer click
Listen to the sound of the reindeers' footsteps
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Because I only desire your presence tonight
Holding on to me so tight
Embracing me with a strong grip
What more can I do
What else can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
My sole desire for Christmas is your companionship
All the lights are shining
All the illuminations are radiant
So brightly everywhere
Brilliantly present in every direction
And the sound of children's
The audible delight of children
Laughter fills the air
Laughter permeates the atmosphere
And everyone is singing
Everyone is joining in song
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
I can hear the joyous jingle of sleigh bells
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Santa, can you please deliver the one I truly desire
Won't you please bring my baby to me
Can you bring my beloved to me, Santa
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
I have a modest wishlist for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
My only request
I just want to see my baby
I simply want to see my beloved
Standing right outside my door
Positioned directly outside my entrance
Oh I just want him for my own
Oh, I only want him to be mine
More than you could ever know
His true worth surpasses your understanding
Make my wish come true
Grant my heartfelt wish
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
My sole desire for Christmas is you, my love
All I want for Christmas is you baby
My only holiday wish is to have you, my dear
All I want for Christmas is you baby
My sole desire for Christmas is to have you, my beloved
