I DON'T NEED ANYTHING THIS CHRISTMAS
(Colvin / Petty / Petty)

Shawn Colvin
recorded 1999


At it again, fightin' the crowds,
Been through a war to get downtown!
I think o' your face,
And how you light up when I come home!
Holding you, I'm sure
Nothing matters more!

I don't want anything this Christmas time,
I don't need anything at all!
I don't want Christmas trees,
Bows or bells or fancy things.
I got all I want so far,
Christmas time is here, here you are!

Holdin' your hand, a-lookin' at lights,
Seein' it all through your eyes.
I could forget about those lonely times,
I wished and I wanted;
Everything came true
Now that I have you!

And I don't want anything this Christmas time,
I don't need anything at all!
I don't want Christmas trees,
Or bows or bells or fancy things.
I got all I want so far,
Christmas time is here and here you are!

I didn't believe in Santa Claus,
He never gave me anything I needed,
But now he's brought me you
And I'm gonna keep you too!

I don't want anything this Christmas time,
I don't need anything at all!
I don't want Christmas trees,
Bows or bells or fancy things.
I got all I want so far,
Christmas time is here!

I don't want anything this Christmas time,
And I don't need anything at all!
I don't want Christmas trees,
Or bows or bells or fancy things.
I got all I want so far,
Christmas time is here and here you are!

I don't want anything this Christmas time,
I don't want anything at all!
I don't want Christmas trees,
I don't want fancy things.
I got all I need, all I want,
Christmas time is here, I don't want anything...
