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 just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you, yeah

I don’t want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need (and I)

Don’t care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don’t need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace (I)

Santa Claus won’t make me happy

With a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own (ooh)

More than you could ever know (ooh)

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 (and I)

I just wanna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won’t make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick (I)

I won’t even stay awake

To hear those magic reindeer click

‘Cause I just want you here tonight (ooh)

Holding on to me so tight (ooh)

What more can I do

Oh, baby all I want for Christmas is you (you, baby)

All the lights are shining

So brightly everywhere

And the sound of children’s

Laughter fills the air (oh)

And everyone is singing (oh, yeah)

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa won’t you bring me (yeah)

The one I really need (oh)

Won’t you please bring my baby to me quickly

I don’t want a lot for Christmas

This is all I’m asking for (I)

I just wanna see my baby

Standing right outside my door

I just want you for my own (ooh)

More than you could ever know (ooh)

Make my wish come true

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you (you, baby)

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby
