[Chorus]
Just give me all your lovin'
Girl, I'll do all the rubbin'
That's all I ask of you
I'll kiss you anywhere
(I'll kiss you anywhere, baby)
Yes, love, even there (Even there)
That's all I ask of you
[Verse 1]
Kissin' you is not enough for me
You know I'm a big boy, and big boys have desires
Makin' love is what I wanna do
But I need a true friend to make it come together
[Chorus]
Just give me all your lovin' (All your love)
Girl, I'll do all the rubbin'
(I wanna kiss you right there)
That's all I ask of you
(Just stand right there, little girl)
I'll kiss you anywhere (Anywhere)
Yes, love, even there
(Especially there and there)
That's all I ask of you
(That's all I ask of you)
[Verse 2]
I'm not tryin' to put you on the line
But I gotta tell you what's exactly on my mind, girl
My big heart leads me right to you
Every time the phone rings
I pray to God that it's you, girl
Every time I close my eyes
A vision of your face always pops into my mind, girl
I would do anything to receive love from you
So show me the way that this could happen soon
[Refrain]
I'll be right there on time
It's your place or mine
Just show me the place
(I really love you) I really love you
(I love you, Deja) I love you, Deja
[Chorus]
Just give me all your lovin' (All your love)
Girl, I'll do all the rubbin'
(Give me everything I want)
That's all I ask of you
(I'm sure I can please you)
I'll kiss you anywhere (Anywhere)
Yes, love, even there
(I wanna kiss you right there)
That's all I ask of you
(Just stand right there, little girl)
Let's blow out the candles (Out the candles)
And see if I can handle (See if I can handle you)
That's all I ask of you
Little things I do (Little things)
It's just because of you
(Just because it's you)
That's all I ask of you (All I ask of you)
[Refrain]
See, time is all we need (Time)
Sing it, Boni
And time is all we have
Just show me the place
(I really love you) I really love you
(I love you, Deja) I love you, Deja, love
[Chorus]
Just give me all your lovin' (All your love)
Girl, I'll do all the rubbin'
(I will do all the rubbin')
That's all I ask of you (Girl, all I ask)
I'll kiss you anywhere (Anywhere)
Yes, love, even there
(Especially there and there)
That's all I ask of you
(Just because it's you)
Just give me all your lovin' (All your love)
Girl, I'll do all the rubbin'
(And I will do all the rubbin')
That's all I ask of you (It's all I ask)
I'll kiss you anywhere (Anywhere)
Yes, love, even there
(Especially there and there)
That's all I ask of you (All I wanna do)
Let's blow out the candles
(Blow out those candles)
And see if I can handle
(See, I wanna please your body, your heart)
That's all I ask of you
(And your soul, girl, yeah)
Little things I do (Little things)
It's just because of you
(Just because it's you)
That's all I ask of you
Just give me all your lovin'
Girl, I'll do all the rubbin'
That's all I ask of you
I'll kiss you anywhere
Yes, love, even there
That's all I ask of you
(That's all I ask of you, oh, hey)

Wow. Your best bet would probably be to do a search on eBay and see if it comes up. If it doesn’t, save the search and have eBay e-mail you whenever it finds something that may fit what you’re searching for. Sheet music isn’t very common anymore though, so best of luck!
