[Chorus]
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)

[Verse 1]
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

[Pre-Chorus]
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you

[Chorus]
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)

[Verse 2]
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I'm just going to keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click

[Pre-Chorus]
I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

[Chorus]
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)

[Bridge]
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children
The laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?

[Verse 3]
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door

[Pre-Chorus]
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
'Cause all I want for Christmas
Is you

[Chorus]
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you
All I want for Christmas, yeah, is you (I said it now)

Aloe Blacc is a rapper/singer and ½ of the group Emanon with producer Exile. His real name is Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III. He signed to legendary hip-hop label Stone’s Throw in 2006 and released his debut Shine Through the same year. It featured mostly singing (a move away from the rapping Aloe had done in his Emanon days) and was entirely self-produced except one track which was produced by Madlib.

His second album, Good Things, propelled him to international success due to the single “I Need a Dollar” which reached #2 on the UK singles chart and was certified platinum there.

Blacc’s next success came in writing the massive Avicii hit “Wake Me Up” which went number one in most European countries as well as hitting #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Aloe released an acoustic version of the track on his third studio album, Lift Your Spirit. This album contained the massively successful song “The Man” which peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was supposedly played 108 times during the 2014 NFL draft.
