I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you (yeah, baby)
I'm just a love machine
A huggin', kissin' fiend

I think it's high time you knew
Whenever I think of you
My mind blows a fuse (baby)
When I look in your eyes
My meter starts to rise, I become so confused
My voltage regulator cools
When I'm sitting next to you
Electricity starts to flow
And my indicator starts to glow, woo

I-I-I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody (but you, baby)
I'm just a love machine (yeah, baby)
A huggin', kissin' fiend

Na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Doo-doo-doo
Na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na

I-I-I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine (yeah, baby)
A huggin', kissin' fiend

I'm gentle as a lamb
I'm not that hard to program
There's no way that you can lose
My chassis fits like a glove
I've got a button for love
That she's got to use
If you look into my files
I am sure you can find out how
To turn me on just set my dial
And let me love you for a little while, woo

I-I-I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody (but you, baby)
I'm just a love machine (yeah, baby)
A huggin', kissin' fiend

Na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Doo-doo-doo
Na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Push it, push it, baby, ow

I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody (but you, baby)
I'm just a love machine (yeah, baby)
A huggin', kissin' fiend

I'm just a love machine
I won't operate for anybody but you
I'm just a love machine (yeah, baby)
A huggin', kissin' fiend
