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 doesnt't't need sugar cause it's already sweet
It doesnt't't need an oven cause it's got a lot of heat
Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
And that's the recipe for making love

And if youve made it right you'll know it
Its not like anything youve made before
And if youve made it wrong you'll know it
Cause it wont keep you coming back for more

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