Lyrics
All of my love, all of my kissin’
You don’t know what you’ve been a-missin’
Oh boy, when you’re with me, ho boy
The world can see that you were meant for me
All of my life I’ve been a-waitin’
Tonight there’ll be no hesitatin’
Oh boy, when you’re with me, ho boy
The world can see that you were meant for me
Stars appear and shadows a-fallin’
You can hear my heart callin’
And a little bit of lovin’ makes everything right
I’m gonna see my baby tonight
All of my love, all of my kissin’
You don’t know what you’ve been a-missin’
Oh boy, when you’re with me, ho boy
The world can see that you were meant for me
Dum di dum dum, ho boy
Dum di dum dum, ho boy
All of my love, all of my kissin’
You don’t know what you’ve been a-missin’
Oh boy, when you’re with me, ho boy
The world can see that you were meant for me
All of my life I’ve been a-waitin’
Tonight there’ll be no hesitatin’
Oh boy, when you’re with me, ho boy
The world can see that you were meant for me
Stars appear and the shadows a-fallin’
You can hear my heart callin’
And a little bit of lovin’ makes everything right
And I’m gonna see my baby tonight
All of my love, all of my kissin’
You don’t know what you’ve been a-missin’
Oh boy, when you’re with me, ho boy
The world can see that you were meant for me
