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 lot of heat   Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete   And that's the recipe for making love      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      I didn't get it from my grandma's 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
