Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Alright Jermaine, it's time for Lil Bow Wow to go to sleep
I ain't going to sleep, why man? yeah Bow Wow
You gotta go to sleep man, Santa on his way man
Why y'all ain't going to sleep then?
Ain't no damn Santa Claus, he coming I'ma see him when y'all see him
Ya heard, holler, yeah, I'm saying man, he just paged me yo
You better go to sleep, man whatever, holler child, you better holler your way in
So so def
[Verse 2]
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
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
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, you, baby
[Verse 3]
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
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
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you, you, baby
[Verse 4]
All the lights are shining so brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's 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
[Verse 5]
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him 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, 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...
