Christmas wishless here is what I want.

So let me open all the presents that you

brought. Christmas wishless here is what

I want. What I want is you.

You.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm by the fire, waiting for

you like I do every Christmas.

Yeah, baby, I'll finally get the chance

to kiss you under the malle touch.

Oh, you don't know how much joy your

presence brings.

But every time I'm with you, boy, I just

want to say that I'm just a girl who

wants everything in the world. But my

list wouldn't be complete without you.

Christmas wish is what I want. Won't you

let me open all that you

you?

Oh yeah.

Jingle all the way to my heart. You're

the gift that I can live without.

Wrapped in your love. You made me want

to stay. My silent night to jingle

on my wish list. Yeah. For Christmas. I

want a hot boyfriend with a pretty smile

and a brand new car that my girls can

ride with some pink leather boots. Knee

high. Anyhow, I came to say hi. He's

looking for a girl. Here's the number to

dial. I've been single for a minute, but

you changed my mind. Give me one more

chance, Biggy. I'm hypnotized. I'll be

real happy if I see you under my tree

next to my brother Skims and Fenty. You

plentiful, got me sentimental cuz plans,

but you kind of gentle. On the first day

of Christmas, I asked for you. The

second day, I caught the love bug flu.

The third day of Christmas, I got my

wish. Sweetheart, you made all my dreams

come true.

Wish is what I

me all the presents that you

wish

I

Christmas wish

all the presents that you brought. Open

your Christmas.

All I want for Christmas is you, baby.

Christmas wish.

Christmas wish.

Christmas wish.

Wait, that's so cute.
