Lyrics
Underneath the Christmas tree
Expressing a desire for something special beneath the Christmas tree.
I just want you for my own
Desiring the person addressed as a personal possession during the festive season.
More than you could ever know
Emphasizing the depth of the desire, surpassing the recipient's understanding.
Make my wish come true
Requesting fulfillment of a heartfelt wish.
All I want for Christmas is you Baby
Reiterating the sole desire for the person mentioned as a Christmas gift.
You Baby
Repetition for emphasis on the desired recipient.
I don't need to hang my stocking
Expressing contentment without traditional Christmas decorations.
There upon the fireplace
Describing the usual place for hanging stockings during Christmas.
Santa Claus won't make me happy
Stating that material gifts from Santa Claus don't bring happiness.
With a toy on Christmas day
Downplaying the joy derived from receiving toys on Christmas day.
I just want you for for my own
Reiterating the desire for the person as the primary Christmas wish.
More than you could ever know
Reaffirming the intensity of the desire beyond comprehension.
Make my wish come true
Requesting the realization of the heartfelt wish.
All I want for Christmas is you Baby
Restating the central theme: the desire for the person addressed as a Christmas gift.
All the lights are shining
Setting the festive atmosphere with shining lights everywhere.
So brightly everywhere
Describing the bright and cheerful ambiance created by the lights.
And the sound of children's
Highlighting the joyous sound of children's laughter in the air.
Laughter fills the air
Portraying a festive scene filled with the happiness of children.
And everyone is singin'
Observing the collective joy expressed through singing.
I hear those sleigh bells ringin'
Hearing the familiar sound of sleigh bells, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Making a direct plea to Santa Claus for the desired person.
Oh bring my baby to me
Repeating the plea to bring the loved one as the ultimate Christmas gift.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
Expressing a modest Christmas wish, not desiring many things.
This is all I'm askin' for
Clarifying that the primary request is minimal, focusing on a specific desire.
I just wanna see my baby
Expressing the simple desire to see the loved one outside the door.
Standing right outside my door
Specifying the location of the desired presence - right outside the door.
Oh I just want him for my own
Reiterating the personal desire for the loved one during Christmas.
More than you could ever know
Emphasizing the depth of the desire beyond the recipient's understanding.
Make my wish come true
Requesting the fulfillment of the heartfelt wish.
All I want for Christmas is you Baby
Restating the central theme: the desire for the person addressed as a Christmas gift.
You Baby
Repetition for emphasis on the desired recipient.
You Baby
