"Let Me Be Your Lovemaker" lyrics

"Let Me Be Your Lovemaker"
(originally by Betty Wright)
("Joint Effort" Version)


Let me be your lovemaker
Let me be your soul shaker
Let me be your lovemaker
Let me be your soul shaker

Around this time last summer
When you and I first met
I thought I was cool
Living by the rules
Trying to play hard to get

So you found some good-time guy
To give you the love you needed
I don't know a thing
About what thrills love could bring
I was young, selfish, and conceited

I know you don't think I'm ready
But open your eyes and see
As sure as my heart is beating
I can love away all your misery

Let me be your lovemaker
Let me be your soul shaker
Wha, let me be your lovemaker
Let me be your soul shaker

About this time last year
I was blind to all the good things you said
The sweet words you spoke
They were strong enough
Strong enough to raise the dead

So you thought you'd wasted
Both your time and mine
But now I'm ready to do what you want me to
Cause I'm your man and I ain't lyin'

I know you don't think I'm ready
But open your eyes and see
As sure as my heart is beating
I can love away your misery

Let me be your lovemaker
Let me be your soul shaker
Why don't ya, let me be, why don't ya
You got to let me be
Hey babe
Why don't you realize
Honey, honey, whoa!
Just wanna be your lovemaker

Hey babe
Let me be your lovemaker
Honey, eh
Let me be good to you
Lovemaker

Come on babe
Whoa honey
Come on come on honey
