All I Want for Christmas Is You
Michael Bublι Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about those presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
You know that all I want for Christmas is you

I wont ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
No I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

There's no sense in hanging stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus he won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
Girl what can I do
You know that all I want for Christmas is you

And all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I can hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really love
Won't you please bring my baby to me

I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
No I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
You know that all I want for Christmas




Is you
Is you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Michael Bublé's hit 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' center around the theme of a love that is greater than any material possessions. The singer emphasizes that he doesn't care about presents or any decorations that come with Christmas, the only thing he truly wants is to be with the person he loves. The lyrics are essentially a declaration of love wrapped up in a festive theme, with the addition of sleigh bells and the mention of Santa Claus adding to the winter holiday vibe.


In the opening verse, 'I don't want a lot for Christmas, there's just one thing I need,' indicate that the singer's desires are simple. He only needs to be with his lover, as they're the only thing that can fulfill his Christmas wishes. His focus is entirely on the person he loves, and all he wants is for his wish to come true. The second verse, 'I won't ask for much this Christmas, I won't even wish for snow,' further confirms that the material aspects of Christmas mean nothing to him. Again, the focus is on spending time with the person he loves. The song's ultimate message is that love is the most important gift of all, and that's all he really wants for Christmas.

For some reason I feel like Christmas starts to kick in at the end of September. I’m not saying Christmas is here on October 1st but I am being recommended Christmas content and have the urge to listen to music.
