The Beatles - All I've Got To Do Lyrics

The Beatles Lyrics

"All I've Got To Do"

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

John Lennon explained that this song was written for the American market because it was very unlikely to a British youth in the early sixties to call a girl on the telephone. He clarified in an interview about their another song "No Reply", that "phones weren't part of the English child's life" at that time.

John Lennon remarked that he was "trying to do Smokey Robinson again" on this song. This album also contains a cover version of the song "You Really Got a Hold on Me" by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles.
