This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
I'm doin' this for all my ladies
I know you you thinkin'
"Yo, it sounds like a lullaby," right?
But this is for you
Get into it
I got your legs spread all over the bed
Hands clenched in the sheets
Hair wild as hell I know
The only thin' on your mind is sexin' me
Girl, I can feel your temperature risin'
You should feel my nature too
Come on you it's gonna be a bumpy ride
Girl, lets do what we came to do
Girl, when we make love all night
When we make good love all night
When we make love all night
We really make love
Girl, when we make love all night
When we make good love all night
When we make love all night
We really make love (come to daddy, baby)
On the balcony grippin' the rails
Slowly I'm pullin' you near
Sayin', "Shh, babe, don't make to much noise
There's a lot of people that live around here"
Emotions runnin' high
My hands planted on your thighs
You feel me goin' up and down
And round and round and round
Girl, when we make love all night (your sexy body)
When we make good love all night
When we make love all night (all over you)
We really make love (you over me, my body)
Girl, when we make love all night (baby)
When we make good love all night (when I touch you)
When we make love all night
We really make love (we're makin' sweet, sweet love)
In your driveway in the back seat
Windows tinted its gettin' deep
Fog all over the glass
I don't know how long I can last
With you moanin' crazy
Girl, keep on callin' me
I'll take you to ecstasy
And when I'm done, you'll be fast asleep
Girl, when we make love all night (when we makin' good love, oh, oh)
When we make good love all night
When we make love all night (lovin', ooh, baby)
We really make love
Girl, when we make love all night (ooh yeah)
When we make good love all night (keep me mind all night)
When we make love all night (I can hear you baby)
We really make love (everybody)
If it's the house, at the mall, in the jeep, babe
In the tub in the pool or the beach, babe (don't matter to me)
Get your grove on (get your grove on)
Get your grove on (if you, if you gotta lady get you groove on)
If it's the house, at the mall, in the jeep, babe (touch her body)
In the tub in the pool or the beach, babe (get inside her mind)
Get your grove on (if you can)
Get your grove on (baby, do it to me)
Girl, when we make love all night
I mean we make good love all night (you got me goin')
When we make love all night (just thinkin' about your body)
We really make love (oh-oh, yeah)
Girl, when we make love all night (my family sees it)
When we make good love all night (always fought for you)
When we make love all night ('cause you're inside of my mind)
We really make love (and I love the way you feel)
Girl, I love it when we're on the floor
Girl, I love it when we're on the couch
Yes, I love it when we're in the kitchen
Girl, I love it when I'm down town
Yes, I love it when you go down
Girl, I love it when your all around
Yes, I love it
I love you, baby
When we makin' good love
When we makin' good love
I know you you thinkin'
"Yo, it sounds like a lullaby," right?
But this is for you
Get into it
I got your legs spread all over the bed
Hands clenched in the sheets
Hair wild as hell I know

Girl, I can feel your temperature risin'
You should feel my nature too
Come on you it's gonna be a bumpy ride
Girl, lets do what we came to do

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I think it means that The "guy" wants to make love not just have sex he wants it to mean something.
i feel that hes try'nt o say to make love with women jsut dont fuck them!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! ITS JUST SAYING THAT HE DOSENT JUST WANT TO FUCK FOR PLEASURE HE WANTS TO MAKE LOVE MEANING HE TRUELY DOES LOVE THE GURL
He loves the girl and wants to be intimate with her, not just have sex with her.
This is a very cool song. I agree with all of your opions on what the song means.
Great love song
i l0ve this song .. its soo great . wat its really sayin is that theres a difference between fucking nd makin l0ve .. nd he wants to make l0ve
Just hearing the tone in his voice makes you wanna 'make love'.
hes got such a sexy voice so he can get away with singing sexy songs like this
yeah... I'd have to agree w/ everyone else's opinions. This WAS me and my ex-boyfriends song back when this song came out. But now we're over. Still was a good relationship song to have.
