After high school, Glenn began recording demos and performing at nightclubs, eventually becoming a respected act in Toronto. He parlayed this success into the release of his first single, "The Thing To Do," in 1998 on Beat Factory/BMG. The song won him a Juno Award for Best R&B Recording. His second single, "Bout Your Love," earned him a Juno nomination.
This exposure eventually landed him a deal with Epic Records. Glenn's debut album, World Outside My Window, was released on March 19, 2002. Fueled by the hit single "Don't You Forget It," the album peaked at #4 on the Billboard charts. He promoted the album by touring with R&B singers Alicia Keys and Tweet, among others.
In 2002, Lewis recorded a cover version of "Superstition" for the tribute album, Conception: An Interpretation of Stevie Wonder's Songs. Glenn also makes a brief appearance in the 2002 film Maid in Manhattan starring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes. He contributed the song "Fall Again" to the film's soundtrack. A concert DVD, Glenn Lewis Live, was released in 2003.
Glenn prepared his sophomore album, Back For More for release in 2003. The first single, also titled "Back For More," and featuring rapper Kardinal Offishall, was released to radio and a video began to air. Unexplicably, the album was pushed back, first to later in the year, then to 2004. It remains unreleased. In the meantime, Glenn netted a Grammy nomination for his contribution to Stanley Clarke's "Where Is The Love", a duet also featuring Amel Larrieux.
Glenn left Epic Records in 2005, and is currently signed to Underdog Entertainment. According to Glenn's MySpace page, a new album, Remember Me, will see release in the spring of 2007.

Make Luv
Glenn Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't lie, you're the key to my life
It's kind of like a winter's cold
But with you in my life
I'm stuck in July
[Chorus]
Even when we first hit fight
Be back making love that night
Baby how we do what we do drive me crazy
So can we make love
Like we're mad at each other girl
Baby makin' love
Like you tryin' to take me from my girl
Don't you make love
Like we're really tryin' to get over something
Let's make love
Girl tonight I, I really wanna make love
And baby when you come through the door
You wanna feel like close
Right by the floor baby
Baby when you get to the bed
Gon' be a whole lot of crazy things
Going through your head
You're ready by now I'm sure
I could feel the moisture from your juicy catoure baby
Now I'm ready too
Sometimes it don't matter what we do
[Chorus]
Even when we first hit fight
I can't stay mad at you 'cause baby
Be back making love that night
Baby how we do what we do drive me crazy
So can we make love
Like we're mad at each other girl
Baby makin' love
Like you tryin' to take me from my girl
Don't you make love
Tonight I really wanna make love
Let's make love
Girl tonight I, I really wanna make love

Line by Line Meaning
Girl I want you so
I have strong desires for you
I can't lie, you're the key to my life
You are very important to me and are the reason for my happiness
It's kind of like a winter's cold
This feeling is like a harsh and bitter winter
But with you in my life
However, when you are with me
I'm stuck in July
I feel warm and happy as if it were summer all year round
Even when we first hit fight
Even when we first argue
I can't stay mad at you 'cause baby
I cannot remain angry at you because
Be back making love that night
We will make love again that same night
Baby how we do what we do drive me crazy
The way we express our love drives me to the point of insanity
So can we make love
Can we engage in sexual intercourse
Like we're mad at each other girl
As if we are angry with each other
Baby makin' love
Engaging in sexual activity with each other
Like you tryin' to take me from my girl
As if you are trying to steal me away from my significant other
Don't you make love
Do not engage in sexual activity with me
Like we're really tryin' to get over something
As if we are trying to move past a difficult situation
Let's make love
We should engage in sexual activity
And baby when you come through the door
When you enter the room
You wanna feel like close
You want to feel emotionally close to me
Right by the floor baby
Perhaps even physically close to the ground, as if we are inseparable
Baby when you get to the bed
When we are in bed together
Gon' be a whole lot of crazy things
Our actions will be very passionate and intense
Going through your head
Running through your mind
You're ready by now I'm sure
I believe that you are also prepared for sexual activity
I could feel the moisture from your juicy catoure baby
I can sense that you are aroused and ready for sex
Now I'm ready too
I am also ready for sexual activity
Sometimes it don't matter what we do
Sometimes our actions are irrelevant because our attraction and love for each other is so powerful
Tonight I really wanna make love
I strongly desire to engage in sexual activity with you tonight
Let's make love
We should engage in sexual activity
Girl tonight I, I really wanna make love
I have an intense desire to have sex with you tonight
