[English]

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 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

All I want to do is love you, yeah

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

All I want to do is love you

Give me a kiss from that Elvis lip

You don't want to miss this

All I want to do

All I want to do is love you

All I really want to do is

All I really want to do is

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

When I wake up, when I wake up in the morning, baby

All I really want to do is

...

Key Grammar Structures

• All I want to do is love you

  ➔ Emphasis structure with 'All...is'

  ➔ The structure "All I want to do is love you" uses "All...is" to emphasize that the only thing desired is "to love you". The "is" is followed directly by the base verb "love" without "to".

• Let's just lay here and be lazy

  ➔ Let's + base verb for suggestions

  ➔ "Let's" is a contraction of "let us" and is used to make suggestions that include the speaker. It is followed by the base form of the verb without "to", as in "Let's lay" and "Let's be".

• I got better things to do than my to-do list

  ➔ Comparative structure with 'better...than'

  ➔ The sentence uses the comparative structure "better...than" to compare two things. "Better" is the comparative form of "good", and "than" introduces the second element being compared.

  ➔ The imperative mood is used for commands or requests. It uses the base form of the verb without a subject, as in "Hide" and "waste". The subject "you" is implied but not stated.

• Looking at you, looking at me is the only thing that matters

  ➔ Gerund phrase as subject
