Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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)
Ooh (all I want for Christmas is you, baby)
Ooh baby
The song All I Want for Christmas Is You is a holiday classic that has become iconic ever since its release in 1994. The lyrics of the song convey the message that the singer's only desire is the presence of the person they love for Christmas. The song starts with the singer expressing their excitement and anticipation for Christmas. The chorus then plainly reveals the singer's wish - they want the person they love to be with them for Christmas, and nothing else would matter.
The second verse emphasizes that the singer doesn't need or want any presents, and they aren't even asking for material things like snow. They just want to spend time with their loved one under the mistletoe. The bridge of the song establishes the festive setting of Christmas with the bright lights, the sound of children playing, and music filling the air. The final verse reiterates the singer's desire for their beloved's presence and highlights the location of their loved one- standing right outside the singer's door.

To hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Oh, Baby all I want for Christmas is you
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing

Santa won't you bring me
The one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for

Standing right outside my door
