Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And blow out the candlelight
For tonight is just your night
We're gonna celebrate,
All through the night
Pour the wine, light the fire
Girl your wish is my command
I will do anything,
Girl you need only ask
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to
Girl relax, let's go slow
I ain't got nowhere to go
I'm just gonna concentrate on you
Girl are you ready?
It's gonna be a long night
Throw your clothes on the floor
I'm gonna take my clothes off too
I made plans to be with you
Girl whatever you ask me you know I can do
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to
Baby tonight is your night
And I will do you right
Just make a wish on your night
Anything that you ask
I will give you the love of your life
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I'll hold you tight
Baby all through the night
I'll make love to you
When you want me to
And I will not let go
Till you tell me to
The Boyz II Men's hit song "I'll Make Love to You" was released in 1994 and brought the group a second Grammy award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. The lyrics are romantic and sensual, speaking to a man's desire to please his partner in every way he can. The song begins with a wish, a candle, and a celebration of the moment. The man submits to the woman's desires by making her wish his command, showing his willingness to do anything to please her.
The chorus repeats the promise of making love to her the way she wants him to, holding her throughout the night until she says it is time to go. In the bridge, he asks her if she is ready, emphasizing the importance of her consent, and promising to be patient and concentrate on her. He acknowledges their long night ahead, asking her to relax and take it slow. The lyrics turn more explicit in the third verse, with the suggestion that they undress to make love. He reminds her that he made plans to be with her, and that he can satisfy all her desires.
"I'll Make Love to You" was written by Babyface and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The song was a massive commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for fourteen weeks, breaking the record for the most weeks at number one previously set by Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You." The song also topped the charts in several countries, and the album II, on which it appeared, went on to sell over twelve million copies in the US alone.
