I Only Want You for Christmas Lyrics

The snow is falling It's Christmas Eve
Presents are wrapped Under the tree
Is there one for me?

I only want you for Christmas, baby
I don't need nothing else
I only want you for Christmas, baby
Tie a ribbon 'round yourself
Oh, tie a ribbon 'round yourself

I ain't gonna write no letter Send north to the pole
Cause what I'm wanting this year Saint Nick don't need to know

I only want you for Christmas, baby
I don't need nothing else
I only want you for Christmas, baby
Tie a ribbon 'round yourself
Oh, tie a ribbon 'round yourself

So put on your Christmas stockings I'll find that mistletoe
Let's get into the the holiday spirits
And honey ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

I only want you for Christmas, baby
I don't need nothing else
I only want you for Christmas, baby
Tie a ribbon 'round yourself
I only want you for Christmas, baby
I don't need nothing else
I only want you for Christmas, baby
Tie a ribbon 'round yourself

Oh, tie a ribbon 'round yourself
Woo ooh (train noise)
Oh I had a bicycle
I had a train too

Presents are wrapped Under the tree
Is there one for me?

I only want you for Christmas, baby
I don't need nothing else
I only want you for Christmas, baby
Tie a ribbon 'round yourself
Oh, tie a ribbon 'round yourself

I ain't gonna write no letter Send north to the pole
Cause what I'm wanting this year Saint Nick don't need to know

I only want you for Christmas, baby
I don't need nothing else
I only want you for Christmas, baby
Tie a ribbon 'round yourself
Oh, tie a ribbon 'round yourself

And honey ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

I only want you for Christmas, baby

I only want you for Christmas, baby

I only want you for Christmas, baby
Tie a ribbon 'round yourself

Oh, tie a ribbon 'round yourself
Woo ooh (train noise) 
Oh I had a bicycle 
I had a train too

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
