Get Down, Make Love Lyrics

Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love -
You take my body -
I give you heat
You say you're hungry
I give you meat
I suck your mind

You blow my head
Make love -
Inside your bed - everybody get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love

Everytime I get hot
You wanna cool down
Everytime I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say it's enough
In fact it's too much
Everytime I get a - Get down, get down
Make love -

Everytime I get high
You wanna come down
Everytime I get hot
You say you wanna cool down
You say it's enough
In fact it's too much
Everytime I wanna, get down, get down get down -
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love

Right-- I have a studio demo of the song "It's Late" and instead of the normal version, there was an interlude of Freddie improvising with a delay machine. Somewhere in the middle, he pops out with the lyric "get down, make love." I'm pretty sure the song stemmed from that.

I don't care if freddie was gay or not. I think he was a genius and this song is one more example. It is about getting high and horny and his partner shows no interest. He is talking about sexual frustration.

Bisexual or gay. Doesn't matter. Just like akanawha said, he was a genius. His sexuality doesn't matter. He was great anyways (it's not a flaw to be gay/bisexual). Just like this song. This is one of their songs that I can never get out of my head after listening to it. Well... a lot of their songs are like that. But it's just such a great song, just like most of their songs. And yeah, 'sleeping on the sidewalk' is not a bad song. At least I like it, but well, you know. Skip it? I don't think so!

"Does it mean this, does it mean that, that's all anybody wants to know. Fuck them, darling. I say what any decent poet would say if you dared ask him to analyse his work: If you see it, dear, then it's there."

'I don't think Freddie was really gay in the 70s' Yeh, sure, he 'became' gay as soon as 1980 hit did he? Jeez. I'm not sure if he was gay or bi but a) he definitely did not 'change' and b) who gives a shit? Pretty obvious sexual content but also frustration: 'Everytime I get high, you wanna come down' and could've been about a man or woman.

in live versions instead of body "You take my bucked teeth".

always thought that was freddie having a laugh at himself. Now think nup, sexual frustration, always wanting to fuck high on drugs, and his partner, now thinking longtime partner, feeling uncomfortable.

Ok, I think he was pretty smashed when he worte this one!

its this song that makes me question freddie's homo sexuality. this and Body Language

Cover art for Get Down, Make Love lyrics by Queen

why would you question his homosexuality? nowhere in the song does it ever say "her" or "she", he wants to get down and make love, but not saying with whome.

This song is the very thing that one of Osams's sons want to do to the Bush twins or at least both of them, but "Daddy" cought him in the act and now has revelations of "Daddy" pasted on the face of the prisoners of Guantanamo Bay! :(
