Song Title: All I Really Want
Intro:
Verse One:
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
Chorus:
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
Verse Two:
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
Chorus Two:
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
Verse Three:
Well, I guess I should go, it s almost time for bed
And maybe next time I write you, I ll be at home
Chorus Three:
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
