No need to fuss and fight

No need to be that way

No time to act uptight

It's gonna be okay

I'm gonna love you all night

If it takes all day

I'll cook your favorite meal

And wash your automobile

Buy you that Sunday hat

And even find your missing cat

We'll make love tonight

If it takes all day

I'll skip that game of cards

To mow your mama's yard

I'll roll up both my sleeves

And rake up all her leaves

I'm gonna love you all night

If it takes all day

I'll clean and scrub the tub

And give your back a rub

Pour you a glass of wine

And then we're gonna take our time

We'll make love tonight

If it takes all day

Call in the mistletoe

Adjust your ebb and flow

Your evening's now insured

Cause I've got a special cure

It's called love

And it lasts all day

Put down that jelly roll

Reach out and touch my soul

Come meet me half the way

And I'll take your breath away

We'll make love tonight

If it takes all day
