[English]

Spill all your emotions on the table

And let me see your heart upon your sleeve

Open up your soul, I want to know exactly what you need

Say all you want for Christmas is me

I know I got this thing upon me

I don't need no more expensive nonessential things

'Cause when I kiss your lips it feels like it's everything I need

So tell me all you want for Christmas is me

So I'm gonna love you like it's always Christmas Eve

I'm gonna sacrifice a selfish part of me

'Cause when we're all alone and I hold you close

Everything I'll need

Say all you want for Christmas is me

This time of year we always get distracted

Trying to fill up all the space under the tree

Say all you want for Christmas is me

So I'm gonna love you like it's always Christmas Eve

I'm gonna sacrifice a selfish part of me

'Cause when we're all alone and I hold you close

Everything I'll need

Say all you want for Christmas is me

You don't need to worry baby

'Cause I'm right here by you

And everyday would drive me crazy if I lost you

So I'm gonna love you

Like it's always Christmas Eve

How gonna sacrifice

The selfish part of me

‘Cause when we're all alone

‘Cause when we're all alone and I hold you close

Everything I need

Say all you want for Christmas

Say all you want for Christmas

Say all you want for Christmas

Is me
