All I Want For Christmas Is You
Miley Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's 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...
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
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
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole before Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
All I want for Christmas is you
(echo you)
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
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...
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
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
All I want for Christmas is...
You
All I want for Christmas is you... yeah you
The song "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Miley Cyrus is a modern interpretation of the original song by Mariah Carey. The lyrics express a desire for companionship and love during the holiday season, rather than materialistic gifts. The singer's focus is solely on the person they love and they don't want anything else.
The first stanza sets the tone for the song. The singer makes it clear that they don't want anything besides the person they love. They aren't interested in presents, decorations, or even snow; all they want is their loved one. The second stanza elaborates on this, with the singer stating they don't need Santa Claus to bring them gifts or any other traditional aspects of Christmas. The focus remains on the person they love.
The final stanza emphasizes the joyous surroundings of the Christmas season. The lights are shining, children are playing and singing, and the sound of sleigh bells fill the air. The singer then asks Santa Claus to bring them the one thing they truly need, their loved one. The song ends with the singer reiterating their desire for their loved one, stating that all they want for Christmas is them.

I don't need to follow traditional customs to enjoy the holiday season
There upon the fireplace
Even though hanging stockings is a traditional custom, it doesn't make or break my Christmas spirit
Santa Claus won't make me happy
Getting gifts from Santa Claus doesn't bring the joy that being with you does
With a toy on Christmas day
Physical gifts cannot take the place of emotional fulfillment

More than you could ever know

Underneath the mistletoe
I'll be biding my time until a certain someone comes by whom I can kiss under the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
I'm not going to obsess over what I want or force their hand to get it for me
To the North Pole before Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to
I'm cool with sleeping through Christmas morning
Hear those magic reindeer click
I don't need to stay up all night hoping to hear Santa Claus and his reindeer
'Cause I just want you here tonight
All of these customs pale in comparison to being with you tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What brings me true joy is being close and intimately connected with you
What more can I do
I am powerless in my inability to express how important you are to me
All the lights are shining
The world seems brighter and lighter during the holiday season
So brightly everywhere
Holiday decorations and ambiance transform the atmosphere everywhere
And the sound of children's
Happiness can be heard everywhere
Laughter fills the air
Laughter and joy is infectious and can be felt everywhere
And everyone is singing
The joy and spirit is so contagious that it feels as everyone is caught up in the energy
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Even though I don't care about material things this holiday season, I can't help but feel excited for any reminder of the holiday season in the form of sleighbells
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
I know Santa Claus can't fulfill the one thing I'm wishing for this Christmas
Won't you please bring my baby to me...
Santa, even though you can't be the one to bring my baby to me this Christmas, I still wish for it
This is all I'm asking for
This one gift for Christmas is all I need to experience true happiness
I just want to see my baby
I'm longing to simply see you this holiday season
Standing right outside my door
I don't need some elaborate gift, you being present in my life would be enough
You
All I want for Christmas is simply you – your presence, your love, your connection
All I want for Christmas is... you
The true gift of the holiday season is you
