Want You Back
Sasha 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... (Repeat)

Overall Meaning

Sasha's song "Want You Back" is a romantic Christmas ode to a significant other who is missed during the holiday season. The lyrics emphasize that the singer's sole desire is to be reunited with their loved one, and the traditions and material goods of the season pale in comparison. The repetition of the chorus, "All I want for Christmas is you", drives this message home with a catchy melody that makes the song memorable and easily recognizable.


The first verse sets the scene for a typical Christmas celebration with the mention of presents under the tree and stockings hung by the fire. However, the singer shrugs off the trappings of commercialism and focuses solely on their desire for their partner's presence. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer conveying a sense of patient longing for their loved one without resorting to cliches about snow or reindeer. The bridge brings back some of the traditional Christmas imagery (lights, laughter, singing), but also introduces a plea to Santa Claus to bring the singer's beloved home.


Overall, "Want You Back" is a sweet, heartfelt song that highlights the emotional core of the holiday season. By drawing attention away from consumerism and towards love and connection, Sasha encourages listeners to treasure the relationships that matter most in their lives.

I never wanted to hurt your pride
I never wanted to see you cry
You should've told me from the start that I wasn't good enough for you

Do you remember when you gave your word?
And all of a sudden you said you were bored
So why the hell you gave me your word?
Said I'm your gardian with the sword

And now you say you want me
And now you say you want me back
But its just too late

And if you said instead - I'm sorry, don't worry
We might have just had another date
But it's just too late

I want you back
You're crying out loud
I want you back
No need to be proud
I want you back
You said we'll be together
Learn to forgive and never forget
That I'll watch your back

You say,
Why oh why you didn't call me last night
I say,
Hm, yeah right I called you like twice
Somehow second time I called you phone was switch off twice
Ain't that nice?

You look so laughable, unphotographable
I might be grabable, but I'm not havable
No more, you're wrong

Bridge

A thousand days
A thousand beautiful nights
Among a thousand beautiful candle lights
We got into fight, degrading our rights
Debating and hating, polluting our lives
Throwing daggers and knives, feeding on lies
And now
You wanna sex me so bad
You wanna feel me so bad
You wanna touch me so much
And it's sad
That you want me back
After stabbing me with that very same sword in my back
