Well, gimme a little loving in the morning
I want a little loving like us
But you wanna get a-loving in the evening
When I wanna get some loving in the day

I tell her that I'm working in the morning
I tell her that I gotta get my rest
She tells me she's a-working on her loving
And she tells me that my loving is the best

Well, it's a tall order, baby
And it's a tall order now
Well, it's a tall order, baby
But we gotta get our loving somehow

Well, I don't wanna go to sleep on you, baby
I don't wanna go to sleep on you now
If I'm gonna go to sleep on you, baby
Oh, you're gonna do it anywhere

Well, don't you turn your back on me, darling
Don't you know I'd love to stay up and play
If I turn my back on you, darling
Oh, you're gonna do it some other way

Well, it's a tall order, baby
Yeah, it's a tall order now
Well, it's a tall order, baby
But we gotta get our loving somehow

It's a tall order, baby
Well, it's a tall order now
Well, it's a tall order, baby
But we gotta get our loving somehow

I don't wanna go to sleep on you, baby
I don't wanna go to sleep on you now
If I'm gonna go to sleep on you, baby
Oh, you're gonna do it anyhow

Well, don't you turn your back on me, darling
Don't you know I'd love to stay up and play
But if I turn my back on you, darling
Oh, you're gonna do it some other way

Well, it's a tall order, baby
It's a tall order now
Well, it's a tall order, baby
But we gotta get our loving somehow

Well, it's a tall order, baby
Well, it's a tall order now
It's a tall order, baby
But we gotta get our loving somehow
