Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Keep the snow and sleigh rides
Keep those silver bells
Keep the gifts beneath the tree
Give them to someone else
[Verse 2]
Keep that magic snowman
Keep those twinkly lights
Keep the reindeer, my heart already knows how to fly
[Chorus]
'Cause all I ever wanted
Was nothing I got, and
Santa, can you hear me?
Oh
[Verse 3]
I don't need a thing
I sent a letter to you
On how to make my dreams come true, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
What I want for Christmas
Hasn't come, and I've been so blue
Ah, tell me, what can I do? Oh yeah
[Verse 5]
Keep the mistletoе
Unless bеlow
Is what I need
Santa, can't you hear me?
[Verse 6]
Keep those bows and boxes
Keep those Three Wise Men
There's no need for a North Star to show me where I will land
[Chorus]
'Cause all I ever wanted
Isn't on a shelf, and
Santa, can you hear me?
Oh
[Verse 7]
I don't need a thing
I sent a letter to you
On how to make my dreams come true, oh
[Verse 8]
What I want for Christmas
Hasn't come, and I've been so blue
Tell me, what can I do? Oh yeah
[Verse 9]
Keep the mistletoe
Unless below
Is what I need
Oh, Santa, can't you hear me?
[Chorus]
'Cause all I ever wanted
Was nothing I got, and
Santa, can't you hear me?
There's one thing that I need
[Verse 10]
I don't need a thing
I sent a letter to you
On how to make my dreams come true, oh
[Verse 11]
What I want for Christmas
Hasn't come, and I've been so blue
Tell me, what can I do? Oh yeah
[Outro]
Keep the mistletoe
Unless below
Is what I need
Oh, Santa, can't you hear me?
