Get Down, Make Love Lyrics
[Chorus]
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
[Verse 1]
You take my body, I give you heat
You say you're hungry, I give you meat
I suck your mind, you blow my head
Make love (Make love) inside your bed
Everybody get down, make love
[Chorus]
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
[Bridge]
Every time I get hot
You wanna cool down
Every time I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say it's enough
In fact, it's too much
Every time I get a
Get down, get down
Get down, make love
(Get down) I can squeeze
(Make love) you can shake me
(Get down) I can feel
(Make love) when you break me
(Get down) Come on so heavy (make love)
(Get down) when you take me
(Make love) You make love
You make love
(Get down) you make love
You make love
(Make love) You can make everybody
[Chorus]
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
[Bridge]
Every time I get high
You wanna come down
Every time I get hot
You say you want to cool down
You say it's enough
In fact, it's too much
Every time I wanna
Get down, get down, get down
Make love, make love
Make love, make love
Aah!
[Chorus]
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
Get down, make love
[Bridge]
Every time I get hot
You wanna cool down
Every time I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say it's enough
In fact, it's just too much
Every time I wanna
Get down, get down
Get down, make love

“That’s the harmoniser thing, which I use. I’ve used it as a noise rather than a musical thing. It’s controlled because I had a special little pedal made. Which means I can change the interval at which the harmoniser comes back at and the harmoniser’s fed back on itself, so it makes all these swooping noises, and it’s just an exercise in using that together with Freddie’s noises. It’s sort of an erotic interlude.”
