I was always on the wilder side
Chasing love away
Love was something for romantic fools
Just a game how to play

How can I deny my heart
When my love is blind
I got no choice
I’ve gone too far
I lose my mind
When we’re makin’ love
When we’re makin’ love

When I look into your magic eyes
The mirror of my love
I like to see you
Smiling back at me
It makes me feel so good

Need to keep you satisfied
The only way I know
And all the cares I cannot hide
Will never show
When we’re makin’ love
Woh makin’ love

Don’t believe that I’m a liar
But I can’t get enough
Never knew I could be higher
Just by makin’ love

How can I deny my heart
When my love is blind
I got no choice
I’ve gone too far
I lose my mind
When we’re makin’ love
When we’re makin’ love

Don’t believe that I’m a liar
But I can’t get enough
Never knew I could be higher
Just by makin’ love

Oh oh oh yeah oh makin’ love
Oh makin’ love
Makin’ love
Coming to you
Makin’ love
With nothing to do
Makin’ love
Makin’ love
Makin’ love
Makin’ love

Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music."
