Santa Baby
The Rosé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year, I could be just as good
If you check off my Christmas list
Santa baby, I want a yacht and really, that's not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa honey, one little thing I really need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring,
I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight

She promises to wait up for Santa and reiterates her request for him to come quickly.
The singer reflects on the fun she has missed and the romantic opportunities she hasn't taken, suggesting a hint of regret. She expresses a willingness to be good in the coming year, hoping it will improve her chances of receiving the things she desires. The song continues with the singer asking for a yacht, highlighting her extravagant wishes. She insists that she has been an angel throughout the year, once again urging Santa to hurry down the chimney.
She then asks for the deed to a platinum mine, demonstrating her desire for wealth and financial security. The singer invites Santa to come and decorate her Christmas tree with decorations from Tiffany's, symbolizing a craving for opulence. She affirms her belief in Santa's existence and challenges him to believe in her. Finally, she mentions that she forgot to ask for a ring, clarifying that she is not referring to a telephone ring. She ends the song with a plea for Santa to come down the chimney tonight.
