it took me a while to detect the source
something a friend had said

i won't re-direct its course
now it is in my head

i will feel no remorse
when i write a letter on my bed

all i want for christmas is you, of course
all i want for christmas is you, of course
all i want for christmas is you, of course

my voice did sound quite hoarse
when i raised me onto two feet

i had to re-open my old soars
in hopes we again do meet

i shopped at the stores
rush-hour heat

all i want for christmas is you, of course
all i want for christmas is you, of course
all i want for christmas is you, of course

tell me if my story bores
do you want me to turn the page

prince it's you he adores
do you feel like a sage

all of my insides it's yours
let's spend time in a cage

all i want for christmas is you, of course
all i want for christmas is you, of course
all i want for christmas is you, of course

where did you get your sweater santa implores
why yes it matches my dress

grandpa is lying asleep and snores
under the tree is a mess

high above the star soars
if this is fantasy anybody's guess

all i want for christmas is you, of course
all i want for christmas is you, of course
all i want for christmas is you, of course
all i want for christmas is you, of course
all i want for christmas is you, of course
