Love Maker
Foreigner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me be your lovemaker
Let me be your soul shaker
Let me be your lovemaker
Let me be your soul shaker

Around this time last summer
when you and I first met
I thought I was cool
Living by the rules
Trying to play hard to get.

So you found some good-time guy
To give you the love you needed.
I didn't know a thing
about the thrills love could bring
I was young, selfish, and conceited.

I know you don't think I'm ready
But open your eyes and see.
i can show you how ready i am
I can love away all your misery!

Let me be your lovemaker
Let me be your soul shaker
Why don't ya, Let me be your lovemaker
Let me be your soul shaker

About this time last year
I was blind to all the good things you said.
The sweet words you spoke
I took them for a joke
Though they were strong enough raise the dead!

So you thought you wasted
Both your time and mine
But now I'm ready to do
What you want me to
Cause I'm your man
And I ain't Lyin'

I know you don't think I'm ready, Ooo ooo
But open your eyes and see.
As sure as my name is
I can love away all your miseryHEE!

So, Let me (umh) be your lovemaker ( I need to be)
Let me be your soul shaker (umh)
Why don't ya, Let me be your lovemaker
Let me be your soul shaker

Why don't let me be it baby
Why don't ya let me be - Wooh OH
I wanna be, I got ta got ta be
Ooooooooo

Won't it be nice baby
If ya let me be your love maker
Let me be good to ya.





Honey, Honey, Yahhhhh!!!!!
