Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How do we make love
And what's it truly made of?
How do we make love
And what is it truly made of?
[Verse 2]
Gimme an ounce of some honesty
Some innocence and a cup of loyalty
A tablespoon of some attitude
And of course a pinch of freak
[Verse 3]
At least a pound of conversation
Some attention when it comes to relation
Two quarts of intelligence
And a gallon of righteousness, oh
[Verse 4]
How do we make love
And what's it truly made of?
Tell me, yeah
How do we make love
And what is it truly made of?
[Verse 5]
What I need is a smidgen of strength and a whole lot stamina
What I want is a liter of respect and a damn good listener
Well if it means anything to you
Girl, I feel the same way you do
So let's let it marinate for about three hundred and sixty five  days
[Verse 6]
How do we make love
We should know
And what's it truly made of?
We should know what it's truly made of, yeah
How do we make love
And what's it truly made of?
Love like this got only
Oh no, baby, listen, girl
[Verse 7]
Baby, I need to feel it's blended to perfection
Love is splendid in connection
With old fashion remedies and recipes of love
Oh, yeah
And sugar, won't matter what the things that's been eat
I'll be sippin' on every drop of the main ingredient
It's tasty love, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
How do we make love
Tasty love, yeah
And what's it truly made of?
Baby, baby
Baby, I'll tell you, yeah
How do we make love
And what is it truly made of?
I want you to know, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
How do we make love
And what's it truly made of?
You, you, yeah
How do we make love
And what is it truly made of?
[Verse 10]
How do we make love
And what's it truly made of?
How do we make love
And what is it truly made of?...
