Santa, make him love me
Santa, just help me
Tell me I'll be loved

I need a lover to call my mine
I adore him
Can't ignore him
Always on my mind
Don't you know the man's so fine

I've been good
I've behaved like I should
I've done all I could

Whatever he wants from me
Whatever he needs
I'll be
Just set him beneath my tree

He's my Christmas fantasy
And that's all I need
I'm begging you, Santa
Please slide him down my chimney
He's my Christmas fantasy

Santa, my one wish
Top of my list
Is our first Christmas kiss
Is something that I can't resist

Santa, maybe
I'll be his baby
I've got to make him mine

There's nothing like a love divine
And I've been good
I've behaved like I should
Santa, if you would

Whatever he wants from me
Whatever he needs I'll be
Just set him beneath my tree

He's my Christmas fantasy
And that's all I need
I'm begging you, Santa
Please slide him down my chimney
He's my Christmas fantasy

Whatever he wants from me
Whatever he needs
I'll be
Just set him beneath my tree

He's my Christmas fantasy
And that's all I need
I'm begging you, Santa
Please slide him down my chimney

He's my Christmas fantasy
I love him
Yes, I do
Yeah, I'm begging, begging you

Send him all to me
Please, Santa, can I?
Santa, can I have a man?
Will you understand?

Anita Baker is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter known for her distinct low contralto vocals. She started out in the band Chapter 8, which had the hit song “I Just Wanna Be Your Girl” that was later sampled by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony for their hit song “1st of tha Month.” “Anita” went on to become a big name in ‘80s R&B alongside “Luther” and “Whitney” as she began to rack up #1 hits.

Her debut album, The Songstress, was released in 1983 on independent label Beverly Glen and featured the hit song “Angel.” She left Beverly Glen and signed with Elektra Records, releasing her second album Rapture in 1986, which went on to sell over 5 million albums and peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart thanks to the hits “Sweet Love,” “Same Ole Love,” and “Caught Up in the Rapture.”

Her third album, Giving You the Best That I Got, was released in 1988 and hit #1 on the Billboard 200, and the title track hit #1 on both the Billboard R&B and Adult Contemporary Singles charts. Rapture and Giving You the Best That I Got accounted for five of her eight Grammy Awards, with her sixth in that time frame coming from her gospel collaboration with The Winans on the song “Ain’t No Need To Worry” in 1988.
