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, 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, you want me too All night long
