[Verse 1]
A little bit of me and a whole lot of you
Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses, too
Then let it rise for a hundred years or two
And that's the recipe for making love
It doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet
It doesn't need an oven 'cause it's got a lotta heat
Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
And that's the recipe for making love

[Bridge]
And if you've made it right you'll know it
It's not like anything you've made before
And if you've made it wrong you'll know it
'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more

[Verse 2]
I didn't get from my grandma's book upon the shelf
I didn't get from a magical and culinary elf
No, a little birdie told me that you can't make it by yourself
And that's the recipe for making love

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
It's not like anything you've made before
'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more
[Outro]
No, I didn't get from my grandma's book upon the shelf
Didn't get from a magical and culinary elf
No, a little birdie told me that you can't make it by yourself
And that's the recipe
Girl, that's the recipe of making love to you
That's the recipe for making love
