Lyrics

LIKE YOU MAKE LOVE


IF YOU MADE THE RAIN LIKE YOU MAKE LOVE
BABY, I'D BE CALLIN' NOAH.
TO SAY WHAT'S COMIN' NEXT MADE THE LAST TIME LOOK
LIKE A PUDDLE ON THE FLOOR.
I'D TELL HIM "GRAB THAT HAMMER, STRIKE THEM NAILS,
LOAD THEM CRITTERS AND RAISE YOUR SAILS.
AND CHART A COURSE FOR THE APPALACHIAN SEA."
IF YOU MADE THE RAIN LIKE YOU MAKE LOVE TO ME.

IF YOU MADE WAR LIKE YOU MAKE LOVE,
THERE'D BE NO PLACE TO HIDE.
BUT THERE'D NEVER BE A SINGLE SHOT FIRED,
'CAUSE THEY'D ALL BE ON YOUR SIDE.
IF YOU RATTLED YOUR SABRE LIKE YOUR DERRIERE,
THEY'D DROP THEIR WEAPONS, THROW THEIR HANDS IN THE AIR,
AND THIS WHOLE WIDE WORLD WOULD LIVE IN HARMONY
IF YOU MADE WAR LIKE YOU MAKE LOVE TO ME.

AND IF YOU MADE HONEY LIKE YOUR SWEET LIPS ON MINE,
YOU KNOW THE BEES'D HAVE TO STAND IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE.
IF YOU ROLLED DICE LIKE YOU ROLL MY BONES,
WE'D BE RICHER THAN THE ROLLING STONES.

IF YOU MADE FIRE LIKE YOU MAKE LOVE,
I SWEAR, "VOLCANO"' WOULD BE YOUR NAME
AND BABY, DON'T YA KNOW, WE'D MAKE THAT LAVA FLOW
TIL WE BOTH WENT UP IN FLAME.
I'D LET THEM DRAGON KISSES SINGE MY SOUL
AND LIGHT ME UP LIKE RED HOT COALS
BURNIN' BRIGHT ENOUGH TO MAKE A BLIND MAN SEE
IF YOU MADE FIRE LIKE YOU MADE LOVE TO ME
