Justin Bieber - All I Want Is You Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
Sitting here, all alone watching the snow fall
Looking back at the days when we threw them snow balls
I can't believe I'm putting the tree up by myself
I need you and nobody else
Pre-Chorus
And I'm sorry if I pushed you away
Cause I need you here and I want for you to know
Chorus
And I don't care, if I don't get anything
All I need is you here right now
And I'm sorry if I hurt you
But I know that all I want is you
This Christmas, this Christmas, this Christmas
All I want is you this Christmas
I'm sorry if I hurt you but I know that
All I want is you this Christmas
Verse 2
And I never wanna do this alone
Baby I just need you to be here, here through the holidays, yeah
I just wanna know if you feel same way
Because I'm lonely baby, want you to hold me baby
Pre-Chorus
And I'm sorry if I pushed you away
I just want you to know I miss you and I want you to stay
Chorus
And I don't care, if I don't get anything
Al I need is you here right now
And I'm sorry if I hurt you
But I know that all I want is you
This Christmas, this Christmas, this Christmas
All I want is you this Christmas
I'm sorry if I hurt you but I know that
All I want is you this Christmas
Bridge
Wrapping gifts without you babe's like mid-December
And there's no cold, I can't do this on my own
I've changed my ways
Keep running back and forth again, I'm here to stay, yeah
Chorus
And I don't care, if I don't get anything
All I need is you here right now
And I'm sorry if I hurt you
But I know that all I want is you
This Christmas, this Christmas, this Christmas
All I want is you this Christmas
I'm sorry if I hurt you but I know that
All I want is you this Christmas
Outro
All I want is you this Christmas
All I want is you this Christmas

Meaning & Inspiration
"All I Want Is You," a track from Justin Bieber's 2011 holiday album *Under the Mistletoe*, presents a raw and honest reflection on love and regret during the Christmas season. While not explicitly a Christian song, its themes of longing, apology, and the singular importance of a loved one resonate with deeply human desires that can, through a spiritual lens, point towards a greater truth. The song opens with vivid imagery of a solitary Christmas Eve, the falling snow and the solitary act of decorating a tree painting a picture of absence and loneliness. This personal narrative of isolation serves as a powerful backdrop for the singer's urgent plea for reconciliation. He acknowledges past mistakes, admitting to pushing his loved one away and expressing deep remorse for any hurt he may have caused. This vulnerability is at the core of the song, highlighting the profound realization that material possessions or even the festive spirit itself pale in comparison to the presence of the person he cherishes.
The repeated refrain, "All I want is you this Christmas," transcends a simple holiday wish; it becomes an anthem for unwavering devotion. This sentiment can be powerfully understood through the lens of Scripture, particularly the admonition found in Matthew 6:24: "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." Bieber's declaration mirrors this principle by prioritizing his singular desire for his loved one above all else, even the superficial pleasures or offerings of the season. His apology, a recurring motif, is not merely a perfunctory statement but an acknowledgment of personal failing and a desire for restoration, reminiscent of David's plea in Psalm 51:17: "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." The song’s bridge reinforces this commitment to change, moving beyond a fleeting wish to a declaration of sustained intention: "I've changed my ways. Keep running back and forth again, I'm here to stay." This commitment to enduring presence and a desire to mend what was broken speaks to the enduring nature of true affection, a quality that finds its ultimate example in the steadfast love of God, as described in Jeremiah 31:3: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I draw you with unfailing kindness." Ultimately, "All I Want Is You" is a compelling testament to the human heart's capacity for deep affection, regret, and the profound desire for connection, themes that, when viewed through faith, can inspire a deeper appreciation for the irreplaceable value of love in all its forms.
