all i want

Steven Curtis Chapman

Well I donââ?¬â?¢t know if you remember me or not
Iââ?¬â?¢m one of the kids they brought in from the home
I was the red-haired boy in an old green flannel shirt
You may not have seen me ââ?¬â?? I was standing off alone
I didnââ?¬â?¢t come and talk to you, ââ?¬Ë?cause thatââ?¬â?¢s never worked before
And youââ?¬â?¢ll probââ?¬â?¢ly never see this letter anyway
But just in case thereââ?¬â?¢s something you can do to help me out
Iââ?¬â?¢ll ask you one more time

All I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
A shoulder to cry on if I lose
Shoulders to ride on if I win
Thereââ?¬â?¢s so much I could ask for
But thereââ?¬â?¢s just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas is a family

Well I guess I should go ahead and tell you now
If itââ?¬â?¢s really true about that list you have
Somehow I always seem to end up in a fight
But Iââ?¬â?¢m really trying hard not to be bad
But maybe if I had a brother or a dad to wrestle with
Well, maybe they could teach me how to get along
And from everything Iââ?¬â?¢ve heard
Sounds like the greatest gift on earth would be a mom

All I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
A shoulder to cry on if I lose
Shoulders to ride on if I win
Thereââ?¬â?¢s so much I could ask for
But thereââ?¬â?¢s just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas

Is someone whoââ?¬â?¢ll be there
To sing me ââ?¬Å?Happy Birthdayââ?¬
For the next 100 years
And itââ?¬â?¢s OK if theyââ?¬â?¢re not perfect
Well, even if theyââ?¬â?¢re a little broken, thatââ?¬â?¢s alright
ââ?¬Ë?Cause so am I

Well, I guess I should go
Itââ?¬â?¢s almost time for bed
And maybe next time I write you
Iââ?¬â?¢ll be at home

ââ?¬Ë?Cause all I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
Tell me Iââ?¬â?¢ll never be alone
Someone whose love will never end
Of all that I could ask for
Well, thereââ?¬â?¢s just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas
All I really want for Christmas is a family

Just a family

Thatââ?¬â?¢s all I really need
