I Need You
The Christmas All Stars 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
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 Christmas All Stars' "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is a song about how the only thing the singer needs for Christmas is the person they love. The first verse states that the singer doesn't want a lot of material things for Christmas, as there is only one thing they need - the person they love. The singer does not care about the presents under the Christmas tree because the only gift they want is the love of their significant other. The singer's main desire for Christmas is to have their loved one with them and to make their wish come true.
The second verse reiterates the same sentiment, saying that the singer does not need snow or any other material gift, only to be with their loved one. The singer's Christmas wish is not to receive presents from Santa Claus, but rather to hold their loved one tightly. The bridge of the song focuses on the atmosphere of Christmas, with lights shining everywhere, children laughing, and people singing. However, even with all the joy around them, the singer's only wish is to have their loved one beside them.
Overall, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is a deeply romantic song about the importance of being with the one you love during the holiday season.

There upon the fireplace
Hanging on the fireplace like traditional Christmas decorations

They are glowing brightly everywhere

Laughter fills the air
Laughter is all around me
And everyone is singing
Everyone is celebrating and singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
I can hear the sound of Santa's sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
I hope that Santa will bring me the one person that I truly need
Won't you please bring my baby to me
Please bring my loved one to me this Christmas
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
My wish is not extravagant
This is all I'm asking for
All I want is this specific request
I just want to see my baby
All I want is to be with my loved one
Standing right outside my door
I want to see my loved one standing outside my door
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is to be with you
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is to be with you
