All I Want For Christmas Is You
Mariah Carey ft. Justin Beeber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need (and I)
Don't care about the 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
All I want for Christmas is you (you, baby)
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (and I)
I just wanna 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
Oh, 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 (oh)
And everyone is singing (oh, yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me (yeah)
The one I really need (oh)
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 (I)
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door
I just want you for my own (ooh)
More than you could ever know (ooh)
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you (you, baby)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
This song opens with the declaration that the singer does not want anything extravagant for Christmas. Instead, there is only one thing that she needs, which is the person she loves. The lyrics continue to emphasize this person's importance with the lines, "I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know." The singer just wants her wish to come true, which is to be with her loved one.
As the song continues, the singer repeats that she doesn't care for presents, stockings, or even snow. All she wants to do is wait with her loved one under the mistletoe. There is no present or magic that could make the singer happier than being held tightly by the person she loves.
The song also mentions such Christmas elements as lights, children's laughter, sleigh bells, and, of course, Santa Claus. However, all of these festive elements become irrelevant when compared to the importance of being with her beloved. The singer wants her significant other to be brought to her quickly, and this is all she is asking for this Christmas. The lyrics conclude with the repeated statement that all the singer wants for Christmas is her loved one.
Overall, the song expresses the desire to spend the holidays with the person a singer loves, emphasizing that the value of love surpasses any other gift or tradition. The lyrics are simple, sweet, and deeply relatable, making it a popular and timeless Christmas classic.
