Make It Right
Kenny Marks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every boy wants a girl
Every girl wants a boy
All around this whole world
It goes on and on and on
Searching for that perfect touch
You find someone but they ask for too much
Every girl needs some love
Every boy needs some too
But no one's willing to give theirs up
And it goes on and on and on
You can't love until you know the Truth
There's Someone who is seeing love through

(Chorus)
Make it right
Fall in love with Jesus tonight
Make it right
Fall in love with Jesus tonight

You want the passion
You want the fire
You want the romance
You got the desire
But then the flame starts to die
And you move on and on and on




When will you learn that it's more than a kiss
Love has come why do you still resist, so

Overall Meaning

Kenny Marks's song Make It Right is a commentary on the difficulties of love and romantic relationships. It acknowledges the universal desire for love and companionship, but laments the struggle to find it. The first verse sets up the basic premise of the song: everyone wants to find that special someone, but it's not easy. The second verse highlights the fact that while everyone wants love, people are often unwilling to make the necessary sacrifices to sustain it. The chorus offers a solution: instead of searching for love in all the wrong places, the answer is to "fall in love with Jesus tonight". In other words, true love can only come from a higher power, and the only way to achieve it is through faith.


The final verse of the song speaks to the fleeting nature of passion and the need for something deeper. It suggests that many people are more interested in the romance and excitement of a relationship than in the hard work and dedication that is required to make it last. The song implores listeners to look beyond the superficial aspects of love and to embrace a more meaningful and enduring kind of love.
