I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need (and I)
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace (I know)
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day

'Cause I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
(You, baby)

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even ask for snow (and I)
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick (and I)
I won't even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
All I want for Christmas is you
(You, baby)

And all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you please bring me what I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?

'Cause I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
(You, baby)
All I want for Christmas is you, baby...

She & Him is an American indie duo consisting of Zooey Deschanel (vocals, piano, ukulele) and M. Ward (guitar, production). Deschanel and Ward first met on the set of the film The Go-Getter, in which Deschanel had a starring role. The director, Martin Hynes, introduced them to each other and asked them to sing a duet together to be played at the end credits of the film. Ward, having heard Deschanel sing previously in the film Elf, was surprised to learn that she wrote songs herself, but hadn’t pursued a career in music. Deschanel had actually done years' worth of home demos, but was shy about becoming a big-name celebrity.On a whim, she decided to send them to Ward. Ward called her a short time later, and their band She & Him was formed.
