I Just Want to Make Love to You
Bo Diddley Muddy Waters Little Walter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want you to work all day
I don't want you to be true
I just want to make love to you
I don't want you to wash my clothes
I don't want you to keep my home
I don't want your money tooI just want to make love to you
Well I can see by the way that you switch and walk
And I can tell by the way that you baby talk
And I know by the way that you treat your man
I want to love you baby, it's a cryin' shame
I don't want you to bake my bread
I don't want you to make my bed
I don't want you cause I'm sad and blue
I just want to make love to you
The lyrics of "I Just Want to Make Love to You" speak of a desire for physical intimacy without any strings attached. The singer does not want his partner to be his servant or fulfill any traditional gender roles, but simply wants to engage in sexual activity. The emphasis on the physicality of the partner is evident in lines such as "I can see by the way that you switch and walk" and "I know by the way that you treat your man."
The song can be seen as a reflection of the cultural attitudes towards sex and gender during the time it was written (in the 1950s), which was a time of conservative values and expectations for women. The singer's desire for pure physical enjoyment without any obligations or responsibilities may have been seen as taboo or even controversial in this context.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Just Want to Make Love to You" are straightforward and explicit in their message, conveying a desire for physical pleasure without any emotional or social attachments. While some may see the lyrics as objectifying or disrespectful to women, they can also be interpreted as an expression of sexual freedom and liberation.

It's hard to believe that I'm listening to the amazing Little Walter. You hear it in his voice and especially his playing. He was at the end of his rope. The gift was gone. And you would think that Bo Diddley could sing the song instead of making up his own cliche' blues lyrics. I Just Want to Make Love to You is a classic. This version is sad to listen to.
