Intro

Verse one

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 probably 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

Chorus

 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

Verse two

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

Well maybe if I had a brother or a dad to wrestle with

Or maybe they could teach me how to get along

And from everything I've heard, it sounds like the greatest gift on earth

Would be a mom

Chorus two

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 here

 To sing me Happy Birthday for the next one hundred years

 And it's okay if they're not perfect

 Well, even if they're a little broken, that's all right, 'cause so am I

Verse three

Well, I guess I should go, it's almost time for bed

And maybe next time I write you, I'll be at home

Chorus three

'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
