Eva Neggers 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 need extravagant gifts
There's just one thing I need
All I truly want is you
I don't care about the presents
Material things aren't important to me
Underneath the Christmas tree
Nothing wrapped in a bow can compare to you
I just want you for my own
I desire your love and companionship more than anything else
More than you could ever know
You mean everything to me
Make my wish come true
Grant me the gift of being with you
All I want for Christmas
My one true wish for the season is
Is you
To spend time with you and feel your love
I don't need to hang my stocking
Traditional holiday customs pale in comparison to finding joy in you
There upon the fireplace
Decorations and typical celebration rituals are not as meaningful to me
Santa Claus won't make me happy
Presents from strangers can’t fill the void of not being with you
With a toy on Christmas day
Children may be fulfilled with toys but I only desire your companionship
You baby
Because I adore and value you
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I am content with having you as my only wish
I won't even wish for snow
The magic of the holiday season does not depend on weather or location
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
I'll be patient until the moment we can be together
Underneath the mistletoe
I'll be ready to kiss you when we get the chance
I won't make a list and send it
I don't want anything else that might distract me from enjoying your company
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I don't need anything from anyone but you
I won't even stay awake to
I don't expect magic or miracles from anyone except you
Hear those magic reindeer click
The fantastical elements of the season are not as important as the wonder and awe I feel with you
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Time spent with you is my present, my greatest delight
Holding on to me so tight
Feeling your love and embrace fills me with happiness and comfort
What more can I do
Everything else is secondary, you are everything to me
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You are the only thing I desire for this season
All the lights are shining
The season is full of bright and beautiful things
So brightly everywhere
Symbols of holiday spirit are visible all around
And the sound of children's
The laughter and joy of the little ones
Laughter fills the air
Bring happiness and life to the season
And everyone is singing
People are finding ways to celebrate and show their love in their own way
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Reminders of the holiday season and its traditions are everywhere
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
The only thing I want is already in my heart, so I don't need anything from anyone else
Won't you please bring my baby to me
Bring us together for the special day
This is all I'm asking for
You are everything that I want
I just want to see my baby
I am looking forward to being with you
Standing right outside my door
Just being near you fills me with happiness
All I want for Christmas is you
You are the ultimate desire of my heart for this season, nothing more and nothing less
All I want for Christmas is you baby
You, my love, are the one and only thing I desire this Christmas season
