All I Want Is You
OC Tolbert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking back at the days when we threw them snowballs
I can't believe I'm putting the tree up by myself
I need you and nobody else
I'm sorry if I pushed you away
'Cause I need you here and I want for you to know
And I don't care if I don't get anything
And I'm sorry if I hurt you
But I know that all I want is you this Christmas
This Christmas
This Christmas
All I want is you this Christmas
This Christmas
This Christmas
All I want is you this Christmas
And I never wanna do this alone
Baby I just need you to be here
Here through the holidays, yeah
I just wanna know if you feel the same way
Because I'm lonely baby, want you to hold me baby
And I'm sorry if I pushed you away
I just want you to know I miss you
And I want you to stay
And I don't care if I don't get anything
All I need is you here right now
And I'm sorry if I hurt you
But I know that all I want is you this Christmas
This Christmas
This Christmas
All I want is you this Christmas
This Christmas
This Christmas
All I want is you this Christmas
Wrapping gifts without you baby
Is like mid December and there's no cold
I can't do this on my own (oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
I've changed my ways
We keep running back and forth again
I'm here to stay
And I don't care if I don't get anything
All I need is you here right now
And I'm sorry if I hurt you
But I know that all I want is you this Christmas
This Christmas
This Christmas
All I want is you this Christmas
This Christmas
This Christmas
All I want is you this Christmas
All I want is you this Christmas
The song "All I Want Is You" by OC Tolbert is a heartfelt and sincere expression of longing for companionship during the holiday season. The song's opening lines set the scene of a person sitting alone, watching the snow fall, and reminiscing about past memories of playing in the snow with a loved one. The singer then reveals the painful truth that they are putting up the Christmas tree alone, confessing that they need the other person and nobody else.
Later in the song, the singer apologizes for pushing their loved one away and expresses their desire to have them by their side through the holidays. The chorus repeats the sentiment that all they want for Christmas is the person they love, and that they don't care about material gifts. The bridge of the song describes the difficulty the singer experiences in preparing for the holidays without their loved one, and promises that they have changed their ways and are committed to making the relationship work.
Overall, "All I Want Is You" is a touching holiday song that perfectly captures the melancholic nostalgia and romantic yearning that many people experience during the holiday season.
