Only Thing I Ever Get for Christmas
Justin Bieber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then everything I wished for has come true
You're the single item on my list
You're my one and only Christmas wish
The mistletoe is where I'll be waiting, meet me there
I know someone out there knows what I'm saying (oh no)
Baby, you're a girl who's wishing just like me (yeah, yeah)
My gift to you is all my heart
Make my holiday, and hear me when I say
If you're the only thing I ever get for Christmas
Then everything I wished for has come true
You're the single item on my list
You're my one and only Christmas wish
The mistletoe is where I'll be waiting, meet me there
In the morning I know everybody's rushing (oh, oh)
To see what's underneath the Christmas tree
Know what I mean 'cause I don't find it there
Underneath the mistletoe is where
You make my holidays, so hear me when I say, yeah
If you're the only thing I ever get for Christmas
Then everything I wished for has come true
(Everything I wished for, yeah, yeah)
You're the single item on my list
You're my one and only Christmas wish
The mistletoe is where I'll be waiting, meet me there
Me there, me there, yeah, yeah, yeah
Only you can make this, a merry, merry Christmas
There is one, and you know who you are
My gift to you is all my heart
Make my holiday, hear me when I say
You're the only thing I ever get for Christmas
Then everything I wished for has come true
You're the single item on my list
You're my one and only Christmas wish
The mistletoe is where I'll be waiting, meet me there
All I ever wanted was you, this Christmas
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I need you, baby
You're the single item on my list
You're my one and only Christmas wish
The mistletoe is where I'll be waiting, kiss me there
I'll be waiting, kiss me there
The song "Only Thing I Ever Get for Christmas" by Justin Bieber is a romantic Christmas song that expresses the desire for love during the holiday season. The lyrics are simple but heartfelt, as the singer yearns for his one wish, which is to be with his loved one. The first verse sets the tone of the song, as Bieber sings, "If you're the only thing I ever get for Christmas, then everything I wished for has come true." He is telling the person that if he can be with them for Christmas, it would make his wishes come true.
In the second verse, Bieber expresses disappointment in not finding what he wants under the Christmas tree. He sings, "In the morning I know everybody's rushing, to see what's underneath the Christmas tree. Know what I mean 'cause I don't find it there." This line is a metaphor for relationships and how sometimes the things we want cannot be found under a tree, but rather in the person we love.
The chorus is the main message of the song, as Bieber declares his love for the person he wants to be with, singing, "You're the single item on my list, you're my one and only Christmas wish. The mistletoe is where I'll be waiting, meet me there." The use of mistletoe is a classic Christmas symbol of love and romance.
Overall, the song captures the essence of Christmas as a time for love and togetherness. It reminds us that the greatest gift we can receive is the love and companionship of those we care about.

But I know that I won't find what I truly want under the tree
Underneath the mistletoe is where
The only place I'll find what I want is under the mistletoe with you
Only you can make this, a merry merry Christmas
You're the only person who can make my Christmas truly happy and joyful
All I ever wanted was you, this Christmas
All I want is to spend Christmas with you
I need you baby
I can't imagine spending Christmas without you
The mistletoe is where I'll be waiting, kiss me there
Let's meet under the mistletoe and share a special moment together
I'll be waiting, kiss me there
I'll be patiently waiting for you under the mistletoe, so come kiss me
