All I Want to Do Is Make Love to You

Heart

It was a rainy night when he came into sight
Standing by the road, no umbrella, no coat
So I pulled up along side and I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile, so we drove for a while

I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain
Fate tell me it's right, is this love at first sight
Please don't make it wrong, just stay for the night

All I want to do is make love to you
Say you will, you want me too
All I want to do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

So we found this hotel, it was a place I knew well
We made magic that night, Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily
And in the morning when he woke, all I left him was a note

I told him I am the flower, you are the seed
We walked in the garden, we planted a tree
Don't try to find me, please don't you dare
Just live in my memory, you'll always be there

All I want to do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All want to do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

Oh, oooh, oh, we made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love

Then it happened one day, we came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes
I said please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me, oh, ooh
Was the one little thing that you can

All I want to do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I want to do is make love to you
Come on, say you will, you want me too

All I want to do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I want to do is make love to you
Say you will, baby, want me to

All night long, all night long, all night long, all night long
All I want to do, all I want to do, all I want to do, all I want to do
All I want to do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew, yeah

    The lyrics tell you the meaning exactly. In the second verse she talks about the night they spent together, and uses the phrase "I am the flower, you are the seed, we walked in the garden and planted a tree" Refer back many years ago to sex ed... that is called sexual intercourse and fertilization. Then in the last verse she plainly tells him, I'm in love with another man, what he couldn't give me (that would be a baby, so apparently he could not reproduce) was the ONE little thing that YOU can. So, in short : She wanted a baby, hot guy on the side of the road, great night of sex, child produced. VOILA kiddies, that's your song. Thanks for playing.

    Well, this song is telling the story of a woman who is married to a man who cannot have children, or is sterile, but she wants to. so she simply finds someone who is willing to be her "one night stand" sperm donor, who gives her something her husband never could, but she feels bad so she tells her husband it is his. Then one day she sees the guy in a store and he notices the child right away because it has his eyes.

    This song is about a woman that wants to have a baby, but cannot because her husband is incapable, so she picks up a random dude from the street. So they go into a hotel (basically a one night stand). The man then awakens to find a note poetically saying, "we shared a night, but it wasn't anything that special, so don't try to find me, but remember me." So a couple years later, they cross paths at a hotel the man works at at. When he looked up from his desk, he saw her baby and relized that it was his ( he saw his own eyes). So then the lady tells him about her other lover (stated above). The music video clearly explains it.

    These lyrics are too vague and leave too many questions unanswered. I agree with the intentional pregnancy interpretation. Otherwise the letter she writes to the homeless man makes no sense and is way too creepy. But this doesn't explain why she knows the hotel so well. Has she been sleeping with all the homeless men in town in that hotel trying to get pregnant and we're only hearing the story about the guy that knocked her up? Does she work there? Why does she know it so well? Does she currently want to make love to him or is she just reliving the past when she says that's all she wants to do? The lyrics seem to say she doesn't want anything to do with him. The fact that this song was written by a man only adds to the confusion, because men can't have children yet.

    Actually, the lyrics say that the very next morning right after they have sex, she leaves him a note that says ""I am the flower you are the seed...We walked in the garden...etc.". I'd argue that if she knows the very next day that they "planted a tree" then she knows she's pregnant. The average woman take at least 28 days to realize she is pregnant, if my sex ed. memory serves. The fact that she wakes up thinking (or perhaps hoping) she is pregnant, means she went into it looking for a baby daddy. BOOYAH!!!

    nope, not quite, sh'es not married when she picks the guy up, she just wants a one night stand. it's the same scenario that every woman sometimesgoes throuhg, guy wants one night, woman falls in love. simp,le as that, a few years later she finds him, only wiht a twist. all she wanted was tog et laid that night. well he fell in love. after that, she married a guy who she had been dating, and told him the kid was his. but when she saw the hitchhiker again a few years later, she realkized she was in love with him, but it was too late. simple as that

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following: "We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

System
Mel And Kim
Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning. This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive. She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end. So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started. There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.
