All I Want For Christmas Is You
Vocaloca 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
All I want for Christmas is you baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vocaloca’s All I Want for Christmas Is You are about a person expressing their wish for love during the holiday season. The singer starts by saying they don’t want many things for Christmas, but there is one thing they really need, and that is the love of their partner.

All they want is their loved one to be with them and make their Christmas wish come true.


The next verse confirms that the singer is willing to wait patiently for their loved one, even if they have to wait under the mistletoe.

The chorus repeats, emphasizing the desire for the love of their partner.


The bridge talks about the joy of Christmas, the shining lights, children’s laughter, and sings about sleigh bells. They then address their wish directly to Santa Claus, asking if he can bring them the one they really need, their loved one. Finally, the last verse talks about how the singer’s only wish is to see their partner standing outside their door. They conclude by repeating the chorus that all they want is their loved one for Christmas.
