[Intro]
Oooh oooh oooooh ah
Da-duh, da-duh-da-duh
La-da-da
Oooh oooh oooooh
Oooh oooh ooooh

[Verse 1: T-Boz]
Tis the season to be givin'
And I've got somethin' just for you
Let's take a trip to my cabin we can celebrate
A funky Christmas made for two (oh)
That's all I want

[Hook]
All I want for Christmas
Is to be loved by someone like you
Outside the snow is falling
My heart is calling
To spend my Christmas time alone with you

[Verse 2: T-Boz]
Now throw a log on the fire
Then we could trim the tree
How much fun it would be
To take a walk in the snow
As you're holdin' me close
That would be your Christmas gift to me

[Hook]
All I want for Christmas
Is to be loved by someone like you
Outside the snow is falling
My heart is calling
To spend my Christmas time alone with you

Oooh oooh oooooh ah
Da-duh, da-duh-da-duh
La-da-da

[Verse 3: Left Eye]
Maybe it ain't got nuttin' to do with my two front teeth
Not unless of course you're lookin' for some chewed up beef
See I love ya cuz I'm in love, And in love cuz I love ya
These words and sentences is for the heads between and bove ya
Can you imagine me alone, a dial tone
A two flips cone, the echo of a moan
A single bow, a measly dug it, a pea in the bucket
Flat out, for Christmas all I wanna do is (yow)
Maybe if my baby didn't treat me like a lady
Diss the host for my toast, kiss the spot that's mostly shady
Twist the left all around, flips these lips upside down
Then you'll never have to ask me why I'm crazy
So hear me in or hear me out
Give me dab or give me doubt, or tell me what it's all about
And if you figure out my flow, be it fast or be it slow
Me and my baby will be chillin' with the mistletoe

[Hook (T-Boz)]
All I want for Christmas
Is to be loved by someone like you
Outside the snow is falling
My heart is calling
To spend my Christmas time alone with you

All I want for Christmas
Is to be loved by someone like you
Outside the snow is falling (There we go)
My heart is calling (With the flow)
To spend my Christmas time alone with you

TLC

TLC is a trio whose musical repertoire spans over R&B, hip-hop, soul, pop, rock, funk, and new jack swing.

Consisting of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, rapper-singer Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, TLC found unprecedented success in the 1990s, not only as a musical group, but also for an extensive series of high profiled spats with the law, each other, and with their record label—all of which helped to solidify them as one of the definitive recording acts to emerge during the aforementioned time span.

The group, which is in fact the highest-selling girl group in America with 65 million records sold, is known for tackling important social issues in their music such as AIDS awareness, violence, domestic abuse, anorexia, bulimia, sexism, racism, and homophobia.
