All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You - Heart



"All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You", also known as "All I Wanna Do", is a song by the rock band Heart. It was composed by veteran songwriter and producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange and released as the lead single from the band's tenth studio album, Brigade.


The song was first recorded as "All I Want to Do Is Make Love to You" by Dobie Gray in 1979, though with different lyrics. The Heart version tells the story of a woman who sets out to seduce a hitchhiker in order to become pregnant because although there is a man in her life, he is infertile.




Lyrics


It was a rainy night when

He came into sight

Standing by the road, no umbrella,

No coat

So I pulled up along side and

I offered him a ride

He accepted with a smile

So we drove for a while

I didn't ask him his name,

This lonely boy in the rain

Fate tell me it's right,

Is this love at first sight

Please don't make it wrong

Just stay for the night


All I wanna do is make love to you

Say you will

You want me too

All I wanna do is make love to you

I've got lovin' arms to hold on to


So we found this hotel,

It was a place I knew well

We made magic that night.

Oh, he did everything right

He brought the woman out of me,

So many times, easily

And in the morning when he woke

All I left him was a note

I told him

"I am the flower you are the seed"

We walked in the garden

We planted a tree

Don't try to find me,

Please don't you dare

Just live in my memory,

You'll always be there


All I wanna do is make love to you

One night of love was all we knew

All I wanna do is make love to you

I've got lovin' arms to hold on to


Oh, oooh, we made love

Love like strangers

All night long

We made love


Then it happened one day,

We came round the same way

You can imagine his surprise

When he saw his own eyes

I said "please, please understand

I'm in love with another man

And what he couldn't give me, how-oh

Was the one little thing that you can"


All I wanna do is make love to you

One night of love was all we knew

All I wanna do is make love to you

Say you will, you want me too


All night long

All night long

All night long

All night long
