| 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 |
