[Intro: Justin]
Oooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 1: Justin & Chris]
I was makin' my list
I was checkin' it twice
In the middle of this
I got tears in my eyes
For in my foolish heart
There was one simple truth
The only gift I wanted was you
I was trimming the tree
I was stringing the lights
While the radio played, 'Silent Night'
There were presents you sent
Though there were quite a few
The only gift I wanted was you

[Chorus: All with Chris, Chris]
You need to be home with me
Alone with me
Holding me next to the Christmas tree
Kissing under the mistletoe
As candles glow
Please come home soon
It's not the same without you (ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2: Joey, All & Lance]
As the bitter-sweet night
Had come to an end (an end)
I was saying goodbye (bye, bye, bye)
To our family and friends
And they all wished me well
And I knew that I knew
The only gift I wanted was you

[Chorus: All with JC, JC]
And you need to be home with me
Alone with me
Holding me next to the Christmas tree
Kissing under the mistletoe (mistletoe)
As candles glow (candles glow)
Please come home soon
It's not the same without you

[Bridge: All, Chris & Justin]
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la (la la la la la la)
Oooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
The only gift I wanted was you

[Chorus: Chris with All]
You need to be home with me
Alone with me
Holding me next to the Christmas tree
Kissing under the mistletoe
As candles glow
Please come home soon
It's not the same without you

[Reprise: JC & All]
I was makin' my list
I was checkin' it twice
In the middle of this
I got tears in my eyes
For in my wishful heart
There was one simple truth
The only gift I wanted was you

[Outro: JC]
For in my wishful heart
There was one simple truth
The only gift I wanted was you

*NSYNC (sometimes stylized as ★NSYNC, formally stylized as ‘N Sync) was an American boy band formed in Orlando, Florida in 1995 and launched in Germany by BMG Ariola Munich. The group consisted of Justin Timberlake, J.C. Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass.

After heavily publicized legal battles with their former manager Lou Pearlman and former record label Sony BMG, the group’s second album, No Strings Attached, sold over one million copies in one day and 2.42 million copies in one week.

In addition to a host of Grammy Award nominations, *NSYNC has performed at the World Series, the Super Bowl and the Olympic Games, and sang or recorded with Elton John, Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, Aerosmith, Mary J.
