I Just Wanna 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 to 'cause I'm set for you
I just wanna make love to you, love to you, love to you
I don't want you to wash my clothes, I don't want you to keep my home
I don't want you to, I don't want you to
I can tell by the way she walks, I can see by the way the baby talks
I can know by the way you treat your man
I can love you baby till the morning
I don't want you to cook my bread, I don't want you to make my bed
I don't want you to 'cause I'm sad and blue
I just wanna make love to you, love to you, love to 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.
