  • 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 you 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 (wooh)

    I-i I'm just a love machine
    And I won't work for nobody but you, baby (yeah, 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 (yeah)
    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 (what)
    My chassis fits like a glove
    I've got a button for love (push it, push it, wooh)
    That you have got to use (push it, push it)

    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 (wooh)

    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

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

    I'm just a love machine
    I won't operate for nobody but you
    I'm just a love machine (yeah, baby)

  • AnonymousWhen I was in grade school I wrote a song and sent it to an address I received found in the back of the TV magazine I am the original person that started the song love you so I won’t work for nobody but you I know once you send something in you give up the rights to it there at that time I was in love with Donnie Osmond had the purple shade carpet purple paneling because that was his favorite color because he wore purple socks I wanted that song to go to him I wish I would’ve known then what I know now the person that really took credit for that song needs to be a real person and stand up because somebody found my letter my song
  • Seventhmist from 7th HeavenDenny's ran several commercials with this song, showing a dancing rooster as the "love machine."
  • Gregg from San Antonio, TxAlways loved that groove back in the day. My mother was big into disco back then and it opened my eyes to a lot being a pre-teen at the time. Now my teenage son loves this song mostly because of the low voice in the background "ooh ooh yeah!" He gets the goofiest grin when he hears that. Great song.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn December 20th, 1975 the Miracles performed "Love Machine" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'...
    Two months earlier on October 25th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on March 6th, 1976 it peaked at #1 (for 1 week) and spent over a half-year on the Top 100 (28 weeks)...
    It reached #3 in England and #5 on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart...
    Lead vocal was by Billy Griffin, who replaced Smokey Robinson in 1972...
    Mr. Griffin will celebrated his 64th birthday come next August 15th.
