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
 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
 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
 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
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
