I Want You Back
Minipop Kids 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 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

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is 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
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won'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 for 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
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
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

Oh 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
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you




All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby

The song "All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Minipop Kids is a classic holiday track that expresses the true meaning of Christmas, which is not about material gifts but about love and togetherness.

The repetition of the line "All I want for Christmas is you" underscores the singer's single-minded focus on their beloved.

The bridge of the song highlights the festive atmosphere of the holiday, with bright lights and the sound of children's laughter. The line "Santa won't you bring me the one I really need" is a nod to the tradition of writing letters to Santa, but in this case, the only thing the singer truly needs is their beloved.
