I heard this song for the first time back in the day while watching the movie “Higher Learning” and I fell in love with it.
It’s hard to believe this song is now 25 years old, it’s still a favorite of mine.
What’s harder to believe? That I have never heard this live version until today.

The Lyrics
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
Kissin’ you is not enough for me
You know I’m a big boy, and big boys have desires
Makin’ love is what I want to do
But I need a true friend to make me come together
Just give me all your lovin’ (All your love)
Girl, I’ll do all the rubbin’
(I want to 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)
I’m not tryin’ to put you on the line
But I got to 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
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
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 want to 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
(It’s just because it’s you)
See, time is all we need (Time)
Sing it, partner
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
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 (That’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 want to do)
Let’s blow out the candles
(Blow out those candles)
And see if I can handle
(See, I want to please your body)
