All I Want for Christmas Is You Lyrics – Mariah Carey
All I Want for Christmas Is You Lyrics
[Intro: Mariah Carey]
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
[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
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 (Ah)
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
I just want you for my own (Oh)
More than you could ever know (Oh)
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (And I)
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 (Ah)
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer cl!ck
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
'Cause I just want you here tonight (Oh)
Holding on to me so tight (Oh)
What more can I do?
Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
[Bridge: Mariah Carey]
Oh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere (So brightly, baby)
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air (Oh, oh yeah)
And everyone is singing (Oh yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing (Oh)
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?
(Yeah, oh, oh)
Won't you please bring my baby to me?
[Verse 3: Mariah Carey]
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for (Ah)
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Oh, I just want you for my own (Oh)
More than you could ever know (Oh)
Make my wish come true
Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you
[Outro: Mariah Carey]
You, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby (You)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby (Ah, oh, ah, oh)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby (You)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
(All I really want, baby, oh)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
(All I want, all I really want is you)
