I have wanted you for Christmas
Ever since the world began
Before there even was a Santa
And back before the dawn of man
I've wanted you to be my baby
And every year my wish comes true
I have wanted you for Christmas
And baby I still do

When Santa comes around
All the lights in town
Are glowing like a Christmas tree
Children all awaiting and anticipating
How great the day is going to be

But baby I'm no child
My mind running wild
It comes as no surprise
You're my greatest prize
And that's just ancient history
I've wanted you to be my baby
And every year my wish comes true
I have wanted you for Christmas
And baby I still do
