"All I've Got to Do"

As part of my listening schedule, I just listened to With the Beatles.  A few lines of one of the stanzas in "All I've Got to Do" sounded familiar:

And when I, I wanna kiss you, yeah
All I gotta do
Is whisper in your ear
The words you long to hear
And I'll be kissin' you

There are some incredibly similar lines in "Do You Want to Know a Secret":

Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear

Apparently "Do You Want to Know a Secret" was primarily composed by John Lennon and "All I've Got to Do" solely by Lennon, so that similarity makes sense.
