Delilah Lyrics

I don't want a lot for Christmas
The singer does not have elaborate demands for Christmas.

There is just one thing I need
The singer only desires one thing for Christmas.

I don't care about the presents
The singer is not interested in the gifts that come with Christmas.

Underneath the Christmas tree
The artist is not interested in the material possessions under the Christmas tree.

I just want you for my own
The artist desires the person they are addressing to be exclusively theirs.

More than you could ever know
The singer's desire for the addressed individual is beyond their understanding.

Make my wish come true
The singer requests for their desire to be granted.

All I want for Christmas is you
The artist's sole desire for Christmas is the one they are addressing.

Oh, you baby
The artist addresses the person they are directing the song to once again.

I don't need to hang my stocking
The artist does not need to follow the traditional Christmas customs to enjoy the occasion.

There upon the fireplace
A specific place where stockings are often hung up during Christmas time.

Santa Claus won't make me happy
The artist understands that gifts from Santa Claus will not bring them happiness.

With a toy on Christmas day
The singer does not desire toys or material possessions on Christmas day.

I won't ask for much this Christmas
The singer's desires for the festive season are minimal.

I won't even wish for snow
The singer does not even desire the typical climate of a wintery Christmas.

I'm just gonna keep on waiting
The artist is patiently waiting for Christmas to arrive.

Underneath the mistletoe
A well-known spot linked to intimate moments and romance during Christmas time.

I won't make a list and send it
The singer does not intend to create a detailed list of things they want.

To the North Pole for Saint Nick
The mythical location where Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nick, supposedly resides.

I won't even stay awake to
The artist has no intention of staying up to witness the arrival of Santa Claus or his reindeer.

Hear those magic reindeer click
The signature sound brought about by the physical interaction between Santa's sleigh and his reindeer.

'Cause I just want you here tonight
The artist desires the person they are addressing to be with them on Christmas Eve.

Holding on to me so tight
The singer wishes to be held by the individual they are addressing in an embrace.

What more can I do?
The artist has already shown the full extent of their desire for the person they are addressing.

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
The singer continues to state their Christmas wish for the person they are addressing.

All the lights are shining
The various lights and decorations of Christmas are visible.

So brightly everywhere
The atmosphere is illuminated by the bright decorations associated with the festival.

And the sound of children's
The joyful noise created by happy children celebrating Christmas.

Laughter fills the air
The artist observes that the environment is filled with laughter and joy.

And everyone is singing
The tradition of singing during the festive season is prevalent.

I hear those sleigh bells ringing
The singer can hear the sound of Santa Claus making his rounds on Christmas Eve.

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?
The artist directly addresses Santa Claus himself, asking for their desired gift.

Won't you please bring my baby to me?
The artist repeats their question to Santa Claus, asking that the addressed individual be brought to them on Christmas Eve.

This is all I'm asking for
The artist reaffirms their singular desire for the person they are addressing.

I just want to see my baby
The singer's only wish for Christmas is to spend it with the person they are addressing.

Standing right outside my door
The artist specifically desires the person they are addressing to be physically present outside their door.

You, you, you, baby
The singer continues to address and repeat their desire for the individual they hope to spend Christmas with.

All I want for Christmas is you, baby
The singer again states their sole wish for Christmas is the person they are addressing to spend the holiday with them.
