All I've Got to Do

Song ratings

Rating Comments Author Date
Average song rating Once again a Beatle's original (John Lennon) which indicates the close attention they are paying to lessons learned from their cover songs. This combines the tight ensemble playing that we first heard in "Anna" and the songwriting of John's early Motown heroes. Ringo's original drumming pattern is impressive, the vocals of John with Paul and George backing lead the song to a satisfying climax, and the humming fade-out is rather original.

Lyrics

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, I want to 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, I want to 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.
