Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh
Yeah
I
I just can't wait, yeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need (and I)
Don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace (I)
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own (ooh)
More than you could ever know (ooh)
Make my wish come true (ooh)
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (and I)
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)
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight (ooh)
Holding on to me so tight (ooh)
What more can I do (ooh)
'Cause baby all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

Oh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere (so bright everywhere)
And the sound of children
Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing (oh yeah)
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, yeah

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas (no, no)
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby (I)(yeah)
Standing right outside my door

Oh I just want you for my own (for my own baby)
More than you could ever know (oh, no)
Make my wish come true (come true)
Baby all I want for Christmas
Is (is) you

It's all I want for Christmas (ooh, baby)
Hey (all I want for Christmas)
It's all I want for Christmas (is you, baby)
(All I want for Christmas is you, baby)
It's all I want for babe
(All I want for Christmas is you, baby)
Yeah, yeah
Whoa, whoa (all I want, all I really want)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (ooh baby)
(All I want for Christmas is you, baby)
All I want, all I really want is, want is, want is, want is (ooh baby)
Ooh (all I want for Christmas is you, baby)
Ooh (all I want for Christmas is you, baby)
Ooh baby
Ooh (all I want for Christmas is you, baby)
