My Only Wish
Meghan Trainor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couples holding hands, places to go
It seems like everyone but me is in love
Santa, can you hear me?
I signed my letter that I sealed with a kiss
I sent it off, it just said this
"I know exactly what I want this year"
Santa, can you hear me?
I want my baby, baby (ooh)
I want someone to love me, someone to hold
Maybe, maybe (maybe, maybe)
You'll be all I want, in a big red bow
Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He's all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa, that's my only wish this year
Oh
Oh, yeah
Mmm
Christmas Eve, I just can't sleep
Would I be wrong for takin' a peek?
'Cause I heard that you're comin' to town
Santa, can you hear me?
I really hope that you're on your way
With something special for me in your sleigh
Oh please, make my wish come true
Santa, can you hear me?
I want my baby, baby (ooh)
I want someone to love me, someone to hold
Maybe, maybe (maybe, maybe)
He'll be all I want, in a big red bow
Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He's all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa, that's my only wish this year
Oh, oh
I hope my letter reaches you in time, mmm
Bring me a love I can call all mine, yeah, yeah
'Cause I have been so good, so good this year, oh
Can't be alone, under mistletoe
He's all I want, in a big red bow
Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He's all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa, that's my only wish this year
(Ah, ah)
Oh Santa, can you hear me? (Ah, ah)
Oh, Santa
'Cause he's all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa, that's my only wish this year
Oh
Oh, yeah
