• 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 wanna do is make love to you
  Say you will, you want me too
  All I wanna do is make love to you
  I got loving arms to hold onto
  
  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 wanna do is make love to you
  One night of love was all we knew
  All I wanna do is make love to you
  I got loving arms to hold onto
  
  Whoa, oh, ooh, 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, whoa
  Was the one little thing that you can"
  
  All I wanna do is make love to you
  One night of love was all we knew (all I wanna do)
  All I wanna do is make love to you
  Come on, say you will, you want me too (all I wanna do)
  All I wanna do is make love to you
  One night of love was all we knew (all I wanna do)
  All I wanna do is make love to you
  Say you will, baby, want me too (all I wanna do)
  
  All night long (all I wanna do is make love to you)
  All night long (all I wanna do)
  All night long (all I wanna do is make love to you)
  All night long (all I wanna do)
  All I wanna do (is make love to you)
  All I wanna do
  All I wanna do
  All I wanna do
  All I wanna do is make love to you
  One night of love was all we knew, yeah (all I wanna do)
  (All I wanna do is make love to you)

• Mark from CaliforniaHeart's "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love You to Do" entered the top 10 of Billboard's weekly tally on 28 April 1990, peaking at #2 on 26 May of that year; which Madonna's "Vogue" was the #1 record then.
• Seventh Mist from 7th HeavenAll I wanna do is never hear this inane song again.
• Robert Diedrich from Pocatello,idahoThis song reminds of a crush i had back when i was back in Junior High. I met her on School Bus 47 back in 1993. Her Name was Annie walker. Every time i would hear this song it would remind me of her and how much i still love her and how much i have missed her. The memory makes my eyes fill up with tears. If only i could find her
• Adele from SaWho are the actors in the video?
• Sid from B.mouthIf anyone can't relate to this song in one form or another in anyway then they've never lived never seen the real world or loved until it hurts so bad as life is never fair . you do what you have too for survival and sometimes songs a words can help you in life change your mood or even give you hope ... This song is all about chance opportunity to fulfill a dream thats life .even hope . none of that should be destroyed
• Alexpmi from South Of HappinessThis song makes me cry, I mean literally and really cry. I have known this song for ages and dig its melody and rhythm. But today for the first time I paid attention to the lyrics. It reminds me of my daughter who I haven't seen in over 3 years and the woman who kinda used me the same as in the song. I was just to stupid to realise.
• Amanda from TorontoI love this song. I love the passion.
• Marcus from UsaI thought it was about feeling a passion that she couldn’t have with her husband who was everything but not great in bed. Unable to have a child also makes sense….
  But it is a reality in some relationships either lack of fertility or not having the sexual passion
• Thor from Oslowho's the girl?
• Miriam from San FranciscoWho were the actor and the actress in the music video All I want to Do Is to Make Love To You
• Sissy from Midwest City,oklahoma Who is the man in the video?
• Lynn from IndianaWho was the actor that played the handsome hitch hiker in the Heart version of this song?
• Neil Gonsalves from Melbourne Australia The girl in the video ‘All I want to make love to you’ by Heart.
  Who is she?
• Slopedogg5150 from Sunnyslope IdahoI absolutely love this song especially because of the lyrics. It evokes a random range of emotions that so many songs do not and yes it may be uncomfortable to hear and imagine but best believe it IS someone’s truth. Like it or not this song made someone feel better knowing they were not alone. I appreciate uniqueness and this song covers that for me.
• Tom from UsaI always heard the line after "All night long" as "We made a life." That's sort of the whole point of the song. Lots of sites show it as "We made love," but no matter how many times I listen to it, and knowing the story line, I can't hear that.
• Neil Gonsalves from Melbourne AustraliaThe couple in the video who are they
• Ady Tees from London, On. It's pretty unsettling and creepy. She is apparently in love with another man, but picks up a stranger and has him pump her hard, which they obviously enjoy massively, several times. Good for her, but the husband should throw her and the kid out. They can find a motel they know well, so she can pick up another hitcher and have him bring her off repeatedly too, so she can squirt out another one!
• Doriima from Melbourne, AustraliaIt's nice to know the singer also finds the lyrics to this uncomfortable. I keep thinking about that hitch-hiker, taken to some motel he doesn't know and just abandoned there. Never mind the whole not-telling-about-a-child business!
• Tania from Brisbane, AustraliaI loved this song when it first came out, but it was soooo over played on the radio at the time, that I soon tired of it! I recently heard a live version by Heart where they REALLY stripped it bare, and was totally blown away by the interpretation!
• The Flow State from Cia Test Site Since 1955How hasn't this song been commented on? Am I on some back alley site?
  
  Random User: Umm the reason the song hasn't been commented on is because it was a pop hit from almost 30 yrs ago
  
  Flow: yeah but if I were to check out a Floyd or a Doors comment section I'm sure ppl would have comments. And that's FIFTY yrs
  
  Soap box user: Umm you're talking about ALL TIME bands. Besides, this conversation is squed. It's not even me who's responding. It's u ASSUMING what I'd say
  
  Flow: C'mon man. You're all the same. This IS what you'd either say or think. As far as legendary bands I get it. But if this site has a massive amount of traffic EVERY genere would be covered. The comments on utube door this song are crazy. It's FUNNY also. That's what these sites are FOR FUN !!
  
  Soap Box: You're not an intellectual. It was a silly song with silly lyrics. Get educated !!
  
  Flow: Then why'd u check it out ? I'll search a FUTURE song or something right now and I'm positive there will be comments. Matter fact I'm going to search all time bands now. Then I'm going to search what's HOT now. If I find nothing then it turns out this site simply BACK ALLEY and all I do is mod the community.
  
  Zombie to the system: Clearly you don't read the times. We're mentioned countless times for our ............
  Flow: SILENCE SLUT !!
