TOPIC: This is a tipical Amnerican slobbering Christmas love song, but we know that sometimes we feel like this. Anyway why not slobber a little when it is Christmas?

GRAMMAR: You can practice Future Simple negative in this song. When you decide to do something at the time of speaking, use the auxiliary "will" before the main verb. If you want to express that you refuse to do something, use the negative form: "will not" which in spoken English is usually "won't". In questions the auxiliary always goes before the subject: "Won't you ...?" Here, you can also find examples of the use of "want" and "need". With these verbs use Present Simple, in negative sentences put "don't" or "doesn't" before the verb and if you put another verb after them, follow this pattern: "want/need to (verb)".

First, try to understand the song just by listening to it, then check your understanding and extend your vocabulary from the lyrics below.

Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You (lyrics)

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
Ooh baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is...
You

All I want for Christmas is you... baby (repeat and fade)
