Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want you to be no slave
I don't want you to work all day
I don't want you to be true
I just wanna make love to you
Love to you, coo-oo-ool, love to you

All I wanna do is to buy you clothes
All I wanna do is to be with you in those
There is nothing more you can do
Leave me making love to you
Love to you, coo-oo-ool, love to you

'Cos I can tell by the way you walk that walk
I can tell by the way you talk that talk
I can know by the way you treat your guy
That I can give you all the loving in the whole wide world

All I want to do is to make sure that you're well fed
And to go out and earn you plenty of bread
I don't want you, sad and blue
I just wanna make love to you
Love to you, coo-oo-ool, love to you

'Cos I can tell by the way you walk that walk
I can tell by the way you talk that talk
I can know by the way you treat your guy
That I can give you all the loving in the whole wide world

I just want to give you plenty of bread
Mmmm, make sure that you're well fed
I don't want you to be sad and blue
I just wanna make love to you
Coo-oo-ool, love to you, mmmm, love you

(to fadeout)




Mmmm, you're my chick and I sure dig you well
I wanna make lo-o-o-ove to you (improvise)
