Girl Of My Dreams
Jonas Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It top's it all, it's better than eggnog
It's cold outside, my boots are full of snow
I'm just hoping for some mistletoe, oh
You can take these presents, underneath my tree
You can take this awesome scarf my grandma made for me
You can take these boxes, tied up with string
Yeah, woo
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Yeah
Light's are goin' up it's Christmas time
But I just want that girl to be mine
My stocking's full but I'm not satisfied
No, no, no, no
But I'll just wait until she's by my side
Yeah
You can take these presents, underneath my tree
You can take this awesome scarf my grandma made for me
You can take these boxes, tied up with string
'Cause all I want for Christmas is the girl of my dreams
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Fa-la-la-la
You can tave these presents, underneath my tree
You can take this awesome scarf my grandma made for me
I would give it all, just to let you see
That all I want for Christmas is the girl of my dreams
You can take these presents, underneath my tree
You can take this awesome scarf my grandma made for me
I would give it all, just to let you see
That all I want for Christmas is the girl of my dreams
In the Jonas Brothers' song "Girl of My Dreams," the lyrics are a plea from the singer to Santa Claus for the only thing he really wants for Christmas: the girl of his dreams. The song begins with a description of a cold, snowy Christmas scene and the singer's hope for some mistletoe. He then goes on to say that he doesn't care about any of the presents under his tree or the other material things associated with the holiday season. All he wants is the girl of his dreams.
The chorus repeats this sentiment, with the singer singing that he would give it all just to be with the girl he loves. The song ends on the hopeful note that he'll wait for her to be by his side, and the instrumentation fades out with a festive "fa la la la la" chorus.
Overall, the song is a sweet, romantic take on the classic Christmas anthem, with a focus on the importance of love and relationships during the holiday season. The use of traditional Christmas imagery and jingle bell sounds adds to the cozy, warm feeling of the track.
