Let's Make Love
Marilyn Monroe;Frankie Vaughan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the gentle lot of conversation is deader than the dead sea scrolls
We've become the mutest kind of nation,
We're uncommunicating souls
No one talks, noone talks!
It's something we seldom ever do
No one talks, no one talks"
No one talks but, you
Let's make love
"Here we sit and we chatter
What are we thinking of?
Let's not make with the patter
Baby, let's make love"
If you roar like a lion, I could coo like a dove!
If your sold begin buyin', baby lets make love!
"Gosh, it's hot"
No, don't turn TV on,
Instead just turn me on
I'll light up like neon
Just a tiny section of your affection
In my direction will do, ooh
"You'll just love my embraces 'cause they'll fit like a glove
We'll be off to the races maybe"
Kiss me baby, let's make love
Don't just lay there.. honey do something
Don't just contemplate me
Prove that you don't hate me
Come on, ask you, late me
"Maybe moonlight works with me,
Come to groups with me,
Lips to lips with me, do"
"You'll just love my embraces"
Cause they'll fit like a glove
"We could get down to cases,maybe"




Kiss me baby, let's make love
Let's make love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song are a call to action, urging the listener to break free from the stifling silence and lack of communication that exists in society and instead engage in intimate, physical connection with another person. The opening lines describe the death of conversation and the muteness of the nation, highlighting the lack of human connection and intimacy in modern times. However, the singer then turns to his lover and calls upon them to "make love," to engage in the physical act of love as a way of breaking through this wall of silence and becoming truly connected.


The lyrics are marked by a sense of urgency and desperation, almost pleading with the listener to take action and connect with their partner.

The song culminates in the final line, "Let's make love," which is a direct call to the listener to engage in the physical act of love as a way of breaking through the barriers of silence and disconnection that exist in society.


Overall, "Let's Make Love" is a powerful and evocative song that speaks to the human need for connection and intimacy. At a time when communication and human connection are becoming increasingly rare, this song serves as a reminder of the power and importance of physical intimacy and connection.


Line by Line Meaning

All the gentle lot of conversation is deader than the dead sea scrolls
Our ability to have meaningful, gentle conversations has completely disappeared, just like the ancient writings on the dead sea scrolls.


We've become the mutest kind of nation,
We as a society have lost our ability to communicate effectively and have turned into a nation of people who are unable to express ourselves verbally.


We're uncommunicating souls
Our souls have become disconnected and we struggle to connect with others through communication.


No one talks, noone talks!
It's rare for people to engage in conversation, and it's even more difficult to find people who are interested in going beyond small talk-something society once took for granted.


It's something we seldom ever do
Having genuine conversations is a rarity and is something most people don't seem to make a priority anymore.


No one talks, no one talks
This is a constant refrain that emphasizes the lack of communication and highlights how far we've drifted away from being able to converse.


But you will, so let's make love
However, with you, there's a potential for more than just silence, so we should take advantage of that by making love.


Here we sit and we chatter, what are we thinking of?
Despite engaging in casual conversation, we're not really sure what we're looking for or what potential could exist between us.


Let's not make with the patter, Baby, let's make love
Instead of filling the void with idle conversation, let's focus that energy on making love.


If you roar like a lion, I could coo like a dove!
You can express yourself as boldly as you want because I'm willing and able to respond in equally daring ways.


If your sold begin buyin', baby let's make love!
If you're interested in pursuing something deeper, let's explore those feelings by making love.


Gosh, it's hot
The sexual tension is palpable and it's clear that we're both feeling it.

Don't dream about what could be between us, instead commit to making that dream a reality by participating in a physical expression of our passion.


Prove that you don't hate me
By engaging in this act of love, you're demonstrating that you don't just tolerate my presence, but you actively desire my company and want to be with me.


Come on, ask you, late me
Let's make this experience about us, and let's embrace our connection in a way that truly satisfies our longing for one another.


Maybe moonlight works with me, Come to groups with me, Lips to lips with me, do
Let's embrace this moment under the moonlight, and indulge in the physical intimacy that comes with embracing one another's lips.


We could get down to cases,maybe Kiss me baby, let's make love
We've built up the sexual anticipation to a point where we can no longer resist it, so let's take action and make love.


Let's make love

This was the first movie of Marilyn's that I watched. I was 12 years old when she died so there was nothing to see for my age group. I was in my sixties when I saw this, I had no idea how cute she was. This is probably one of the poorest scripts that she had and now that I have a bit of knowledge of the old studio system I realize that she didn't have a lot of choices at times. However, I fell in love with her while watching this and I've had so many pleasant surprises watching her films since. She was talented, smart and oh so funny. A treasure lost too soon.
