While specific recording dates are not known, the track was initially recorded in 1976 as a home recording on a basic cassette recorder (during the same set of recordings as For You, Nightingale, I Spend My Time Loving You, Rock Me, Lover and Don't You Wanna Ride?), featuring some lyrics that were changed or removed for later recordings. The track was re-recorded twice in Summer, 1978 at Prince's France Avenue Home Studio, Edina, MN, USA; once with Prince on vocals and once with Sue Ann Carwell on vocals (during the same set of sessions as Make It Through The Storm, Since We've Been Together and I'm Saving It Up). It was re-recorded again on 1 April, 1982, at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA. This version was worked on further in 1986 (either at Sunset Sound or at Prince's Galpin Blvd Home Studio, Chanhassen, MN, USA), and this version was submitted to Michael Jackson for use on his album Bad (producer Quincy Jones had called Prince to ask him to duet on the song Bad, and when Prince declined, he submitted this song instead). It is unlikely Michael Jackson recorded a version of the song, however. Prince then submitted the song to Taja Sevelle, who simply replaced Prince's own vocals, and the track was edited slightly for its release. Remixes for the single release took place in late 1987 at a variety of studios.
Wouldn't You Love To Love Me #2
Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While thunderstorm played hide and seek
I begged for a kiss, she gave me seven
Our lips touched and it feel like heaven
Everything I want is what she does to me
She don't blush 'cause she's so damned free
When she makin' love it's like surgery
I promised myself not to come until she does
And she took both hands and a liar I was
No man in this world could ever hope to last
When my baby downshifts and starts pumpin' fast
Everything I want is what she does to me
She don't blush 'cause she's so damned free
When she makin' love it's like surgery
And she say, ooh, I love you in me
I love you, I love you, in me
Our bodies sink in a pool of sweat
It's the kind of love that you never forget
With you honey, I'm the richest in the world (so rich)
I don't need money 'cause you're my girl
Everything I want is what she does to me
She don't blush 'cause she's so damned free
When she makin' love it's like surgery (surgery)
And she say, ooh, I love you in me
I love you in me
Everything I want is what she does to me
You don't blush 'cause you're so damned free (so free)
When we makin' love it's like surgery (yeah)
And you say, ooh, I love you in me
(I love you)
Yeah
(Ooh, I love you in me)
The lyrics to Prince's song Wouldn't You Love Me? describe a sexual encounter between two individuals.

The two share a kiss that feels like heaven. In the chorus, Prince expresses his love for the woman, stating that everything she does to him is everything he wants. She is unapologetic about her sexuality and doesn't blush, as she is "so damned free." When they make love, it's like a surgical procedure, with attention to detail and precision. The woman expresses her love for Prince, stating that she loves him inside of her.
The second verse describes Prince's goal to not climax until his partner does, but he fails and she takes control with "both hands." He admits that no man could last with her when she "downshifts and starts pumpin' fast." In the final verse, Prince declares that he doesn't need money because the woman is the richest thing in the world to him. His love for her is all he needs. The chorus repeats, with Prince and the woman sharing the sexually charged lyrics.
Overall, the song is a celebration of sexual liberation and freedom. The woman in the song is confident in herself and her sexuality, unapologetically expressing her desires. Prince, meanwhile, is in awe of her and completely in love with her. The song showcases the power of sexual chemistry between two people and the intense connection it can create.

Look into my big brown eyes
Tell me what's on your mind
Do you really love me
Or do you just wanna make some time
See, I don't really care
I just want a little company
And I can tell by the look in your eyes
That you really, really want me
Wouldn't you love to love me?
Wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you love to love me baby?
Wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you love to be with me alone?
Wouldn't you love to have me for your very own?
You're really not that hard to get
I only want to make you see
Baby, I'm not ready yet
To give you any part of me
I don't want to tease you
I only wanna turn you on
I know I can please you
'Til your voice is gone
'Til the party's gone
Wouldn't you love to love me?
Wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you love to love me, sugar?
Wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you…
Your Welcome RIP Prince Rogers Nelson.

@IfYouLetMeStay
Rollerskating vibes right here. And I love the imperfection of the mix, it makes it sound more vintage.
