*Oh yes I've got a lot of loving to do
A whole lot of loving to do
Come on baby, to make your point takes two
Oh yes I've got a lot of loving to do
A whole lot of loving to do
And I don't want to have to do it without you


The moon is big and bright in the milky way tonight
But the way you act you would never know it's there
So baby, time's a wasting
A lot of kisses I ain't been tasting
I don't know about you but I'm gonna get my share


*repeat


There's a balmy little breeze
That's whistling through the trees
And it's telling you to pitch a little woo with me
Why don't you take a listen
You'll know what you've been missing
Cuddle up a little closer and be my little honey bee


*repeat


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 co-operating
And the things I say are things you want to hear


*repeat 




There's a [D]moon that's [G7]big and [D]bright in the Milky [G7]Way to[D]night.
But the [G]way you act you never would know it's [D]there.
Now Baby, [A7]time 's a wastin', a lot o' kisses I ain't been tastin',
don't [G]know about you but [A7]I'm gonna get my [D]share. 
Oh, yes, I've [A7]got a lot o' livin' to do,
[D]Whole lot o' livin' to do, (spoken: come on, [G7]Baby)
to make it fun it takes [D]two.
Oh, yes, I've [A7]got a lot o' livin' to do,
[D]Whole lot o' livin' to do,
and there's [G]no one who I'd rather do it with-a than [D]you.[G7][D]
You're the [D]prettiest [G7]thing I've [D]seen, but you treat me so [G7]dog-gone [D]mean.
Ain't-cha [G]got no heart? I'm dying to hold you [D]near,
Why do you [A7]keep me waitin', why don't-cha start cooperatin',
ain't the [G]things I say the [A7]things you wanna [D]hear?
Oh, yes, I've [A7]got a lot o' livin' to do,
[D]Whole lot o' livin' to do, (spoken: come on, [G7]Baby)
to make it fun it takes [D]two.
Oh, yes, I've [A7]got a lot o' livin' to do,
[D]Whole lot o' livin' to do,
and there's [G]no one who I'd rather do it with-a than [D]you.[G7][D]
