"I Have Wanted You (For Christmas)" lyrics - THE MAVERICKS

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Outro:]
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
