I don't want to get up baby, let's turn off the phone
I don't want to go to work today or even put my makeup on
I've got better things to do than my to do list anyway
Hide under the covers and waste away the day
Let's just lay here and be lazy, baby drive me crazy

All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo 
Is love you

I got my whole life to change the world and climb the ladders
Looking at you looking at me is the only thing that matters
Come a little closer baby, we can talk without the words
Hang a sign on the door, please do not disturb
Let's just lay here and be lazy, baby drive me crazy

All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wooo 
Is love you

Give me a kiss, from that Elvis lip,
You don't want to miss this,

All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo
All I want to do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo 
Is love you wo wo

All I really want to do,
All I really want to do,
All I really want to do is love you, love you, love you

Come a little closer baby, we can talk without the words
Hang a sign on the door, please do not, please do not, please do not, please do not disturb
When I lay down in the evening all I really want to do,
When I wake up, when I wake up in the morning baby, all I really want to do
