The Miracles Feat. Billy Griffin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine
A huggin', kissin' fiend
I think it's high time you knew
Whenever I think of you
My mind blows a fuse
My meter starts to rise, and I become confused
My voltage regulator cools,
When I'm sitting next to you
Electricity starts to flow
And my indicator starts to glow - wooo
I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine
A huggin', kissin' fiend
Na, na na na na, na na na na, woo-woo-wooo
Na, na na na na, na na na na, na naaah
I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine
A huggin', kissin' fiend
I'm gentle as a lamb,
I'm not that hard to program,
There's no way that you can lose
My chassis fits like a glove
I've got a button for love
That you have got-to-use
If you look into my file
I am sure you can find out how
To turn me on just set my dial
And let me love you for a little while - ooh
I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine
A huggin', kissin' fiend
Na, na na na na, na na na na, woo-woo-wooo
Na, na na na na, na na na na, na naaah
I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine
A huggin', kissin' fiend

Thank you for posting this song!!!....My late father Pete Moore and Billy Griffin wrote, produced and sang this classic Love Machine. I don't know who's changing it to "featuring Billy Griffin," He was a "Miracle," period! I love the photos of my father he was a wonderful and humble man. Infinite Blessings to you all.

What kills me is that as good as this is, a group like this would NOT get signed these days. It's disgusting how bad the music industry is now and classics like this just drive the point home.
Ger Stevens
same applies in 2023

This is the best song ever made. I don't know why, it just is.

Fantastic song. If you don't get the irresistable urge to get up and dance when this song is played, you're either deaf or dead.

On this day in 1975 {December 20th} the Miracles performed "Love Machine - Part One" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand'... Two months earlier on October 25th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on Mach 6th it peaked at #1 {for 1 week} and spent over a half-year on the Top 100 {28 weeks}... It reached #3 in England and #5 on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart... Lead vocal was by Billy Griffin, who replaced Smokey Robinson in 1972... R.I.P. Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}...

1976! What a great tune, and great memories. Everybody said the Miracles without Smokey would never fly. Well, it did..but for only one record..at least on the Pop charts. But that one record went all the way to number one!
Falak M
this is such an amazing song!
Stephen Williams
Brilliant, Billy has got a Motown voice! Thanks for the video!

The live version, with all it's energy and charm, is equal to the recording.
