Making Love
Flack Roberta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We love again
Remember when we thought
Our hearts would never mend
And we're all the better for each other
There's more to love, I know
Than making love
Here no more confusion, we see our lives
We live our lives
Remember when we thought
We never would survive
But now neither one of us is breaking
There's more to love, I know
Than making love
Some things never change
Some things sometimes do
And now I'm feeling strong enough to let you in
And now neither one of us is breaking
Now we know there's more to love
Than making love
And I'll remember you and making love
And I'll remember you
And I'll remember you
And I'll remember you
And I'll remember you
"Making Love" is a beautiful love song by Roberta Flack that speaks of the journey of two people who have been through tough times in their relationship but have found their way back to each other. The opening verse talks about how the two protagonists are "here close to our feelings" and "touch again" as they "love again." The lines "remember when we thought our hearts would never mend" show that the couple had gone through some tough times and almost gave up on each other, but they realized that they were "all the better for each other" and made it through the rough patch. They also realize that there is more to love than just "making love," which is a beautiful sentiment.
The second verse talks about how the confusion in their lives is now gone, and they can see their lives clearly. They "live their lives" and are grateful that they survived the tough times. They are now stronger than ever, and neither of them is breaking. The bridge of the song is particularly wonderful as it talks about how "some things never change, some things sometimes do," which is a reflection of how true love can weather any storm and how relationships can evolve for the better.
In the final verse, the singer is strong enough to "let you in," which is a reference to how they have been guarded before and never let their true feelings be known. However, they are now sure of each other, and neither of them is breaking. The song ends on a nostalgic note where the singer promises never to forget the love they shared, even though they realize that there is so much more to love than just "making love."

Roberta Flack, Making Love Lyrics
Here,
Close to our feeling,
We touch again,
We love again
Remember when we thought
Our hearts would never mend?
And we're all the better for each other
There's more to love,
I know,
Than making love
Here
No more confusion
We see our lives,
We live our lives
Remember when we thought
We never would survive?
But now neither one of us is breaking
There's more to love,
I know,
Than making love
Some things never change
Some things sometimes do
And now I'm feeling strong enough
To let you in
And now neither one of us is breaking
Knowing now that there's more to love
Than making love
And I remember you
And making love
And I remember you
And I remember you
Oooo
And I remember you
And I remember you
Oooo
