Lyrics

I don't want a lot for Christmas

I don't want an abundance of gifts for Christmas.

There is just one thing I need

There's only one thing I desire.

I don't care about the presents

I'm not interested in the material presents beneath the Christmas tree.

Underneath the Christmas tree

Reference to the gifts traditionally placed under the Christmas tree.


I just want you for my own

My main wish is to have you as my own.

More than you could ever know

Expressing a deep desire for the person, more than they realize.

Make my wish come true

Hoping that the wish for the desired person will come true.

All I want for Christmas

The ultimate desire for Christmas is the presence of the person.

Is you, yeah

Emphasizing that the only thing wanted is the person.


I don't want a lot for Christmas

Reiteration of not wanting a lot for Christmas.

There is just one thing I need

Reemphasizing the singular desire for the person.

And I don't care about the presents

Repeated lack of interest in material gifts.

Underneath the Christmas tree

Repeating the reference to gifts beneath the Christmas tree.


I don't need to hang my stocking

Not emphasizing the need for traditional Christmas stockings.

There upon the fireplace

Downplaying the importance of stockings on the fireplace.

Santa Claus won't make me happy

Rejecting the idea that Santa Claus and toys bring happiness.

With a toy on Christmas Day

Indifference towards receiving toys on Christmas Day.


I just want you for my own

Restating the central desire for the person.

More than you could ever know

Reiteration of the depth of desire for the person.

Make my wish come true

Reaffirming the hope that the wish for the person will come true.

Oh baby all I want for Christmas

Highlighting that the ultimate desire for Christmas is the person.

Is you

Emphasizing that the person is the sole desire.


(You, baby)

Endorsing the desire for the specific person.


All the lights are shining

Describing the festive atmosphere with bright lights everywhere.

So brightly everywhere

Noting the joyful ambiance with lights.

And the sound of children's

Portraying the sound of children's laughter as part of the holiday spirit.

Laughter fills the air

Highlighting the festive cheer in the air.


And everyone is singing

Observing everyone participating in the festive spirit.

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Noticing the sound of sleigh bells ringing.

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?

Directly addressing Santa to bring the desired person.

Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Pleading for Santa to fulfill the wish of being with the person.


I don't want a lot for Christmas

Reiterating the modest request for Christmas.

This is all I'm asking for

Clarifying that the person is the only thing desired.

I just want to see my baby

Expressing a desire to see the person outside the door.

Standing right outside my door

Specifically wanting the person to be present.


I just want you for my own

Repeating the central theme of desiring the person.

More than you could ever know

Emphasizing the depth of the desire for the person.

Make my wish come true

Reaffirming the hope that the wish for the person will come true.

Oh baby all I want (all I want)

Reiterating the sole desire for the person at Christmas.

For Christmas
