"Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do" lyrics

"Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do"
(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

Oh, yes, I've got a lot of living to do
Whole lot of loving to do
Come on, baby, to make it fun it takes two
Oh, yes, I've got a lot of living to do
Whole lot of loving to do
Well, there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

There's a moon that's big and bright
In the milky way tonight
But the way you act, you never would know it's there
Now, baby, time's a-wasting
A lot of kisses I ain't been tasting
I don't know about you, but I'm going to get my share

Mm-mm, I got a lot of living to do
Whole lot of loving to do
Come on, baby, to make it fun it takes two
Oh, yes, I've got a lot of living to do
Whole lot of loving to do
Well, there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

There's a balmy little breeze
That's a-whistling through the trees
And it's telling you to pitch a little woo with me
Why don't you take a listen?
You never know what you've been missing
Cuddle up real close and be my little honey bee

Ooh, got a lot of living to do
Got a lotta loving to do
Come on, baby, to make it fun it takes two
Oh, yes, I've got a lot of living to do
Whole lotta loving to do
Well, there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

You're the prettiest thing I've seen
But you treat me so doggone mean
Ain't you got no heart? I'm dying to hold you near
Why do you keep me waiting?
Why don't you start cooperating?
Ain't the things I say the things you want to hear?

Ooh-hah, got a lot of living to do
I got a lotta loving to do
Come on, baby, to make it fun it takes two
Oh, yes, I've got a lot of living to do
Got a lotta loving to do
Well, there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you
There's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you
Well, there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

This song was first recorded by Elvis Presley for the soundtrack to his 1957 film "Loving You".
Ben Weisman was a songwriter from New York who came to the recording studio in Hollywood where Elvis Presley was working on the songs for the film. Presley later recalled, "He said he was Ben Weisman, and he had composed the song "Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do". I hollered at the guys to come out and we started playing the song. After that day, Ben and I became really good friends and he would wind up writing fifty-seven songs for me."
