Lyrics

"All I Wanna' Do" It looks like You were never gonna be my queen It looks like There are too many places that you wanna see Oh, if you ever need someone I'll be there I'll be there 'Cause all I wanna do Is make sweet love to you And all I wanna say Is that you made my day And all I wanna do Is be your friend It looks like There are other friends that'll put on a show And that's all good But, in time, each and every one of 'em go Oh, if you ever change your mind I'll be there I'll be there 'Cause all I wanna do Is make sweet love to you And all I wanna say Is that you made my day And all I wanna do Is be your friend I'll be there I'll be there I'll be there I'll be there 'Cause all I wanna do Is make sweet love to you And all I wanna say Is that you made my day 'Cause all I wanna do Is make sweet love to you And all I wanna say Is that you made my day And all I wanna do Is be your friend

"All I Want to Do" Why do you look so skeptical? Why do you look so incredulous? Oh, if you ever need someone I'll be there I'll be there 'Cause all I wanna do Is make sweet love to you And all I wanna say Is that you made my day And all I wanna do Is be your friend Did someone Hurt you when you gave them your trust? Did true love Turn into nothing more than lust? Oh, if you ever change your mind I'll be there I'll be there 'Cause all I wanna do Is make sweet love to you And all I wanna say Is that you made my day And all I wanna do Is be your friend I'll be there I'll be there I'll be there I'll be there 'Cause all I wanna do Is make sweet love to you And all I wanna say Is that you made day And all I wanna do Is make sweet love to you And all I wanna say is that you made my day And all I wanna do is be your friend
