All I Want For Christmas Is You
Jada Michael Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about those presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
What more can I do?
All I want for Christmas is you

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
Baby, 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, baby

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
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
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you

All I want for Christmas
You, baby
All I want for Christmas
You, baby
All I want for Christmas
You, baby
All I want for Christmas

You, baby
You, baby

I don't want a lot for Christmas
I am not asking for many things this holiday season

There is just one thing I need
I only require one thing to make me happy

I don't care about those presents
I am not interested in material possessions

Underneath the Christmas tree
The wrapped items sitting below the evergreen are inconsequential

I just want you for my own
The only thing that will satisfy me is your exclusive company

More than you could ever know
My desire for you is beyond what you could imagine

What more can I do?
I am unsure of what else to do to communicate my need for you

All I want for Christmas is you
You are the one that will make this holiday complete for me

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I have modest requests for this particular holiday

I won't even wish for snow
My expectations are simple, I don't even require the traditional winter elements

I'm just gonna keep on waiting
I will be spending my time waiting patiently

Underneath the mistletoe
My waiting spot will be designated under the festive plant that requires a kiss from the paired individuals.

I won't make a list and send it
I don't need to compile a list of items to send to Santa Claus

To the North Pole for St. Nick
There is no need to send Santa Claus mail to receive what I desire

I won't even stay awake to
I do not feel the need to keep myself awake

Hear those magic reindeer click
The sound of the mystical reindeer hooves landing on my rooftop is not what will make me happy

'Cause I just want you here tonight
My sole objective tonight is for you to be present with me

Holding on to me so tight
I desire to be held tightly by you

And all the lights are shining
The holiday lights are glowing brightly all around us

So brightly everywhere
The radiance of the lights is widespread

And the sound of children's
The joyful giggles of children fill the atmosphere

Laughter fills the air
The sound of merriment is abundant

And everyone is singing
The people of the world are singing together in unison

I hear those sleigh bells ringing
The ring of sleigh bells are music to my ears

Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Santa Claus, please bring me the one person that I truly need

Won't you please bring my baby to me?
Can you please grant this wish and bring my beloved one to me?

This is all I'm asking for
I only need this one gift

I just wanna see my baby
I just want to see my significant other

Standing right outside my door
I want them to be right outside my doorway

You, baby
The person I desire is you

All I want for Christmas
My only Christmas wish

You, baby
Is you, the one that holds my heart

All I want for Christmas
My heart's desire for the joyous celebration of the birth of Christ

You, baby
Is your love and companionship

All I want for Christmas
During the most wonderful time of the year, my wish is simple

You, baby
It's just to be with you

All I want for Christmas
Wishing for nothing more than your love

You, baby
Is enough to make this the happiest season of all
