All I've Got To Do

Release date: 22 November 1963

Whenever I want you around, yeah,
All I gotta do is call you on the phone,
And you'll come running home,
yeah that's all I gotta do.

And when I wanna kiss you, yeah,
All I gotta do is whisper in your ear
The words you long to hear
And I'll be kissin' you.

And the same goes for me, whenever you want me at all,
I'll be here, yes I will, whenever you call;
You just gotta call on me, yeah,
you just gotta call on me.

And when I wanna kiss you, yeah,
All I gotta do is call you on the phone,
And you'll come running home,
Yeah, that's all I gotta do.

And the same goes for me, whenever you want me at all,
I'll be here, yes I will, whenever you call;
You just gotta call on me, yeah,
you just gotta call on me. Oh, you just gotta call on me.

Mmmmmm mm mm
