Want You Back
Tiffany Alvord & Dave Days 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

I don't want a lot for Christmas
I don't need many things in life
There's just one thing I need
There's only one thing that could fulfill me
I don't care about the presents
Gifts are not important to me
Underneath the Christmas tree
Underlying material things
I just want you for my own
All I want is your love and presence
More than you could ever know
My love for you is unexplainable
Make my wish come true
Please fulfill my desires
All I want for Christmas
The only thing I dream of this holiday season
Is you
Is your love and your presence by my side
I don't need to hang my stocking
I don't need any material things
There upon the fireplace
Decorations are not what fills me with desire
Santa Claus won't make me happy
Gifts from Santa will not satisfy my needs
With a toy on Christmas day
A physical object is not what brings me joy
You baby
You, my beloved
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't burden others with my requests
I won't even wish for snow
Even natural occurrences don't matter
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
I'll be patiently anticipating
Underneath the mistletoe
In hopes of sharing a sentimental moment with you
I won't make a list and send it
I won't obsess over material possessions or write endless demands
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
No need to plead for worldly things from Santa Claus
I won't even stay awake to
No need to stay up late or loose sleep over trivia
Hear those magic reindeer click
Futile practices and stereotypes of Christmas will not bring me joy
'Cause I just want you here tonight
All I want and need is your love and presence
Holding on to me so tight
Embrace me like you never have before
What more can I do
There's nothing more I could possibly do
All the lights are shining
The festive season is upon us
So brightly everywhere
The brightness is a metaphor of hope and collective happiness
And the sound of children's
The sound of laughter and enjoyment coming from the innocent youth
Laughter fills the air
The love and joy infused the atmosphere
And everyone is singing
The sense of community and shared joyfulness is alive and well
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
The inevitable build of excitement is underway
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Metaphorical request to bring me spiritual and emotional fulfillment
Won't you please bring my baby to me
My only desire this Christmas
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
I'm content with the things I already have
This is all I'm asking for
No other gifts are needed or desired
I just want to see my baby
I want you to be by my side
Standing right outside my door
In this present moment, at this specific location is where you belong
All I want for Christmas is you
The only thing that matters to me is you my love
All I want for Christmas is you baby
You, my heart's desire
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Your love, your presence, your everything
