"Make Love to Me" is a 1954 popular song with words and music written by a larger team than normally is known to collaborate on a song: Bill Norvas, Alan Copeland, and the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, comprising Leon Rappolo, Paul Mares, Ben Pollack, George Brunies, Mel Stitzel, and Walter Melrose. The melody was derived from a 1923 song, "Tin Roof Blues", composed by the New Orleans Rhythm Kings.

take me in your arms, and never let me go
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) whisper to me softly while the moon is low
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) hold me close and tell me what I wanna know
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) say it to me gently, let the sweet talk flow
Come a little closer, make love to me
kiss me once again, before we say good night
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) take me in your lovin' arms, and squeeze me tight
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) put me in a mood, so I can dream all night
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) everybody's sleepin', so it's quite alright
Come a little closer, make love to me
When you're near, so help me, dear
Chills run up my spine
Don't you know I love you so?
I won't be happy 'til you're mine
when I'm in your arms, you give my heart a treat
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) everything about you is so doggone sweet
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) every time we kiss, you make my life complete
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) baby doll, you know you swept me off my feet
Now's the time to tell you, "Make love to me"
I won't be happy 'til you're mine
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) when I'm in your arms, you give my heart a treat
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) everything about you is so doggone sweet
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) every time we kiss, you make my life complete
(Ba-boom-boom-boom-boom) baby doll, you know you swept me off my feet
Now's the time to tell you
"Hey, hey, baby, make love to me"
