Let Me Be Your Lovemaker

Let me be your lovemaker

Let me be your soul shaker

Let me be your lovemaker

Let me be your soul shaker

Around this time last summer

When you and I first met

I thought I was cool, livin' by the rules

Tryin' to play hard to get

So you found some good-time chick

To give you the love you needed

I didn't know a thing about the thrills love could bring

I was young, selfish, and conceited

I know you don't think I'm ready

But open your eyes and see

As sure as my name is Betty

I can love away all your misery

So let me be your lovemaker

Let me be your soul shaker

Why don't you let me be your lovemaker?

Let me be your soul shaker

About this time last year

I was blind to all the good things you said

The sweet words you spoke, I took them for a joke

Though they were strong enough to raise the dead

So you thought you wasted

Both your time and mine

But now I'm ready to do what you want me to

'Cause I'm your woman and I ain't lyin'

I know you don't think I'm ready

But open your eyes and see

As sure as my name is Betty

I can love away all your misery

So let me be your lovemaker,  I need to be it

Let me be your soul shaker

Let me be your lovemaker

Let me be your soul shaker

Why don't you let me be it, baby? (Why don't you let me be?)

Hey, baby, hey, baby

I wanna be, I got to, got to be

Don't be nice, baby

If you let me be your lovemaker

Let me be good to you

Honey, honey
