I Just Want to Make Love to You Lyrics

I don't want you to be no slave
I don't want you to work all day
I don't want you 'cause I'm kind of
Sad and blue

[Chorus]
I just want to make
Love to you
Love to you

I don't want you to make my bed
I don't want you woman don't rub my head
I don't want you 'cause I'm kind of
Sad and blue

[Chorus]

Well, I can tell by the way that you switch and walk
I can know by the way that you baby talk
I can see by the way that you treat your man
I could love you baby till it's a cryin' shame

I don't want you to make my bread
I don't want you to rub my head
I don't want you 'cause I'm kind of
Sad and blue

I just want to make
Love with you
Love with you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for I Just Want to Make Love to You lyrics by Buddy Guy

This man influenced the likes of Clapton. He is the king of the guitar! And this song is a classic, which has obviously been sung/performed by many. It's only good when the instrumentals cause more stir than the vocals, in my opinion. And Guy delivers! As for the lyrics, they are self-explanatory. And I bet that in his prime Guy had his choice of babes:)
