Elvis Presley AND Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get my lovin' in the evening time
When I'm with my baby
Well, it ain't no fun with the sun around
I get going when the sun goes down
And I'm with my baby
And we're gonna kiss some more
Who cares how many times we kiss
'Cause at a time like this, who keeps score?
Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I meet my baby
Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss
And we're gonna kiss some more
Who cares how many times we kiss
'Cause at a time like this, who keeps score
Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I meet my baby
And it don't matter if it's sleet or snow
The drive-in's cozy when the lights are low
And I'm with my baby
Makes no difference if the rain comes down
I don't notice when she's around
Oh boy, what a baby
Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss
And we're gonna kiss some more
Well, one kiss from my baby doll makes me hot
More more more more
Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I meet my baby
Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss and
We're gonna kiss some more
Well, one kiss from my baby doll makes me hot
More more more more
Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I'm with my baby
