I’m posting these lyrics today because I totally dig this song. Everyone is familiar with “At Last” and it’s a great song… but this song is just as great and really moves. I wanted to post the lyrics as I hear them. Pick up the album that has this on it. You won’t regret it.
I Just Want to Make Love to You
Etta James
I don’t want you
to be no slave
I don’t want you
to work all day
But I want you
To be true
And I just wanna make love to you.
Love to you.
Ooooo.
Love to you.
All I want to do is
wash your clothes
I don’t want to keep
You indoors
There is nothing for
You to do
But keep me making love to you
Love to you.
Ooooo.
Love to you.
And I can tell by the way you
Walk that walk
And I can hear by the way you
Talk that talk
And I can know by the way you
Treat your girl
That I could give you all the loving
In the whole wide world
All I want to do is
Bake your bread
Just to make sure
You’re well fed
I don’t want you
Sad and blue
And I just wanna make love to you
Love to you.
Ooooo.
Love to you.
Oooo.
And I can tell by the way you
Walk that walk
And I can hear by the way you
Talk that talk
And I can know by the way you
Treat your girl
That I could give you all the loving
In the whole wide world
All I want to do (oh all I wanna do) is cook your bread
Just to make sure you’re well fed!
I don’t want you
sad and blue
And I just wanna make love to you.
Love to you.
Ooooo.
Yeah, love to you.
Ooooo.
Love to you.
Ooooo.
Awww…this reminds me of listening to her album while riding in the car with you last summer…sigh.
I think this song was done by Foghat in the seventies. Lots of heavy drums and guitar.
