Steven Curtis Chapman - All I Want lyrics

Well I don't know if you remember me or not

I'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 – I was standing off alone

I didn't come and talk to you, ‘cause that's never worked before

And you'll prob'ly never see this letter anyway

But just in case there's something you can do to help me out

I'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

There's so much I could ask for

But there'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 it's really true about that list you have

Somehow I always seem to end up in a fight

But I'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 I'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

There's so much I could ask for

But there's just one thing I need

All I really want for Christmas

Is someone who'll be there

To sing me “Happy Birthday”

For the next 100 years

And it's OK if they're not perfect

Well, even if they're a little broken, that's alright

‘Cause so am I

Well, I guess I should go

It's almost time for bed

And maybe next time I write you

I'll be at home

‘Cause all I really want for Christmas

Is someone to tuck me in

Tell me I'll never be alone

Someone whose love will never end

Of all that I could ask for

Well, there's just one thing I need

All I really want for Christmas

All I really want for Christmas is a family

Just a family

That's all I really need
