I Belong To You

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
All I want for Christmas is you baby

I don't want a lot for Christmas
I don't desire an abundance of material gifts during the Christmas season

There's just one thing I need
There is only one thing that holds true importance to me

I don't care about the presents
The physical gifts don't hold any significance to me

Underneath the Christmas tree
The presents placed below the decorated tree

I just want you for my own
My desire is to have you exclusively

More than you could ever know
The depth of my longing surpasses your comprehension

Make my wish come true
Grant my longing desire

All I want for Christmas
The sole thing I desire during the festive season

Is you
Is your presence

I don't need to hang my stocking
Placing my stocking as a tradition has no importance to me

There upon the fireplace
On the mantelpiece above the fire

Santa Claus won't make me happy
The joy I seek can't be fulfilled by Santa Claus

With a toy on Christmas day
Receiving a toy on the day of Christmas

I won't ask for much this Christmas
During this Christmas season, I won't request a significant amount

I won't even wish for snow
Not even a desire for snowy weather

I'm just gonna keep on waiting
I'll patiently continue to await

Underneath the mistletoe
Beneath the traditional decoration of mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it
I won't compile a catalog and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick
To the North Pole, addressed to Santa Claus

I won't even stay awake to
I won't remain alert to

Hear those magic reindeer click
Listen to the enchanting sound of reindeer hooves

'Cause I just want you here tonight
Because my sole desire is to have you present tonight

Holding on to me so tight
Embracing me with a strong grip

What more can I do
There is nothing else I can do

Baby all I want for Christmas is you
My ultimate wish for Christmas is to have you

All the lights are shining
The illumination of lights is present everywhere

So brightly everywhere
In such a vivid and radiant manner throughout

And the sound of children's
The joyous sound produced by children's

Laughter fills the air
Fills the atmosphere with mirth and cheer

And everyone is singing
The collective act of vocalizing in song by all

I hear those sleigh bells ringing
The melodious sound of jingling sleigh bells reaches my ears

Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Santa Claus, can you fulfill my need for the one I truly desire

Won't you please bring my baby to me
Could you kindly deliver my beloved to my presence

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
Oh, I have no desire for an abundance of gifts during Christmas

This is all I'm asking for
This sole request is all I require

I just want to see my baby
My sole desire is to lay my eyes upon my beloved

Standing right outside my door
Posed just at the entrance to my abode

Oh I just want him for my own
Oh, I yearn to possess him exclusively

More than you could ever know
A depth of longing beyond your comprehension

Make my wish come true
Grant the fulfillment of my desire

Baby all I want for Christmas is you
Beloved, the only thing I desire for Christmas is you

All I want for Christmas is you baby
My only wish for Christmas is to have you here, my love
