I Have Wanted You (For Christmas) - The Mavericks

I have wanted you for Christmas

Ever since the world began

Before there even was a Santa

And back before the dawn of man

I’ve wanted you to be my baby

And every year my wish comes true

I have wanted you for Christmas

And, baby, I still do

When Santa comes around

All the lights in town

Are glowing like a Christmas tree

Children all awaiting

And anticipating

How great the day is going to be

But baby I’m no child

My mind running wild

You know what you do to be

It comes as no surprise

You’re my favorite prize

And that’s just ancient history

I have wanted you for Christmas

Ever since the world began

Before there even was a Santa

And back before the dawn of man

I’ve wanted you to be my baby

And every year my wish comes true

I have wanted you for Christmas

And, baby, I still do

I’ve wanted you to be my baby

And every year my wish comes true

I have wanted you for Christmas

And, baby, I still do

Baby, I still do

Baby, I still do

Baby, I still do

Baby, I still do

Baby, I still do
