[Verse 1]
I want a gift this Christmas, but it's something I can't find
Been looking store to store, isle to isle in all the check out lines
I've seen a couple folks who got some, and I wanna get me mine
But I've been blind tryin' to hold on to something that won't materialize

[Chorus]
And it's not just for your family, it's for the whole world
And it's not just so your happy, it's for the whole world
And if you know what you've been given
And you choose to step outside, you'll realize that the whole world's waiting on

[Instrumental]
You ooooooo
You ooooooo

[Verse 2]
I'm reaming of a white Christmas, the real hallmark kind
With mistletoe, shining lights and some chestnuts roasting on an open fire
But don't you see what makes Christmas, is the people that you find
Who just keep giving away, giving away, and don't seem to mind

Chorus
And it's not just for your family, it's for the whole world
And it's not just so your happy, it's for the whole world
And if you know what you've been given
And you choose to step outside, you'll realize that the whole world's
Waiting on
[Instrumental]
You ooooooo
You ooooooo
You ooooooo
You ooooooo

[Bridge]
I want a gift this Christmas, and its something I can't find
Unless I give it away, give it away, it won't ever be mine
I guess I gotta' give it away, give it away
Give it away, give it away
I guess I gotta' give it away give it away before it'll ever be mine

I guess I gotta' give it away, give it away
Give it away, give it away
I guess I gotta' give it away, give it away before it'll ever be mine
