Well, I don't know if you remember me or not |
|
I'm one of the kids they brought in from the home |
|
I was the red-haired boy in an old green flannel shirt |
|
You may not have seen me, I was standing off alone |
|
I didn't come and talk to you, 'cause that's never worked before |
|
And you'll prob'ly never see this letter anyway |
|
But just in case there's something you can do to help me out |
|
I'll ask you one more time |
|
All I really want for Christmas |
|
Is someone to tuck me in |
|
A shoulder to cry on if I lose |
|
Shoulders to ride on if I win |
|
There's so much I could ask for |
|
But there's just one thing I need |
|
All I really want for Christmas is a family |
|
Well, I guess I should go ahead and tell you now |
|
If it's really true about that list you have |
|
Somehow I always seem to end up in a fight |
|
But I'm really trying hard not to be bad |
|
But maybe if I had a brother or a dad to wrestle with |
|
Well, maybe they could teach me how to get along |
|
And from everything I've heard |
|
Sounds like the greatest gift on earth would be a mom |
|
All I really want for Christmas |
|
Is someone to tuck me in |
|
A shoulder to cry on if I lose |
|
Shoulders to ride on if I win |
|
There's so much I could ask for |
|
But there's just one thing I need |
|
All I really want for Christmas |
|
Is someone who'll be there |
|
To sing me "Happy Birthday" |
|
For the next 100 years |
|
And it's OK if they're not perfect |
|
Well, even if they're a little broken, that's alright |
|
'Cause so am I |
|
Well, I guess I should go |
|
It's almost time for bed |
|
And maybe next time I write you |
|
I'll be at home |
|
'Cause all I really want for Christmas |
|
Is someone to tuck me in |
|
Tell me I'll never be alone |
|
Someone whose love will never end |
|
Of all that I could ask for |
|
Well, there's just one thing I need |
|
All I really want for Christmas |
|
All I really want for Christmas is a family |
|
Just a family |
|
That's all I really need |
