This song is the perfect example of a tender, passionate, contradictory rock song of my choice. I did get at the time of it's release what the lyrics were about - and I found the ending to be very dramatic and touching (yes, definitely my genre again).
Ever since I discovered the band, I have loved the lead singer's voice - absolutely adored it. She has that raspy sound but then again she can go to that crystal clear area, way up and make my skin go to goosebumps. She - and those who do the same - get my immediate respect. Not all singers get that reaction from me.
When I was younger I enjoyed singing this song a lot - even though the lyrics really do not fit into the mouth of a young boy, haha.. and not least because it is a song for a woman! But I love this song - everything about it. It's a major classic, just like Heart's another hit "Alone". Respect.
Here are the lyrics to "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You":
It was a rainy night/ When he came into sight/ Standing by the road/ No umbrella, no coat.
So I pulled up alongside and I offered him a ride/ He accepted with a smile, so we drove for a while.
I didnt ask him his name/ This lonely boy in the rain/ Fate, tell me its right, ss this love at first sight?
Please dont make it wrong/ Just stay for the night.
All I wanna do is make love to you/ Say you will/ You want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you/ I've got lovin arms to hold on to
So we found this hotel/ It was a place I knew well/ We made magic that night/ Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me/ So many times, easily/ And in the morning when he woke all
I left him was a note
I told him/ I am the flower you are the seed/ We walked in the garden/ We planted a tree
Dont try to find me, please dont you dare/ Just live in my memory, you'll always be there
All I wanna do is make love to you/ One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you/ I've got lovin arms to hold on to
Oh, oooh, we made love/ Love like strangers/ All night long/ We made love
Then it happened one day/ We came round the same way/ You can imagine his surprise/ When he saw his own eyes
I said please, please understand/ I'm in love with another man/ And what he couldn't give me/ Was the one little thing that you can
All I wanna do is make love to you/ One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you/ Say you will, you want me too
All night long/ All night long/ All night long/ All night long
