2.- Lyrics

a)

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


b)

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

Repeat a)


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

Repeat b)

You, baby


I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And 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?
'Cause baby all I want for Christmas is you


All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children
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?


I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door


I just want you 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 (x4)
