Make the Man Love MeCher

Released: January 1, 1974

Songwriter: Barry Mann Cynthia Weil

Producer: Snuff Garrett

Lord I haven't ask for anything
In such a long, long time
Not since that brand new party dress
When I was eight or nine
And I know the world's in such a stench
You got a lot to do
But if you ever find yourself
With a minute or two
Won'tcha please

Make the man love me
Ah make the man see
I'd be so good for him
If he'd start letting me
Come on now
Make the man love me
Ah make the man care
Just open up his heart, Lord
And I'll take it from there

Lord I know that he needs me
It's just he don't know
And my heart so full of him
It's gonna overflow
And so if you should have a miracle
You wanna do up right
Ah won'tcha take him by the hand
And show him the light
Won'tcha you please

Make the man love me
Ah make the man see
I'd be so good for him
If he'd start letting me
Come on now
Make the man love me
Ah make the man care
Just open up his heart, Lord
And I'll take it from there

Oh I want him
Lord how I want him
To make some love to me
Won'tcha make him see
How sweet it could be
So come on come on now

Cher

Cher is an American singer, songwriter, actress, model, fashion designer, television host, comedian, dancer, businesswoman, philanthropist, author, film producer, director, and record producer.

Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband–wife duo Sonny & Cher after their first hit, “I Got You Babe”. She began her solo career simultaneously, releasing in 1966 her first million-seller song, “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”. After the duo had lost its young audience owing to their monogamous, anti-drug lifestyle during the period of the sexual revolution and the rise of the drug culture, she returned to stardom in the 1970s as a television personality with her shows The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and Cher. She became a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows. While working on television, she established herself as a solo artist with the number-one singles “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves”, “Half-Breed”, and “Dark Lady”. After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, Cher’s much-publicized personal life led to a decline in her career, although she launched a minor comeback in 1979 with the disco-oriented album Take Me Home and earned $300,000 a week for her 1980–1982 residency show in Las Vegas.

In the early 1980s, Cher made her Broadway debut, and then starred in the film Silkwood. Her performance earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1983. In the ensuing years, she starred in films such as Mask, The Witches of Eastwick, and Moonstruck. She made her directorial debut in the 1996 film If These Walls Could Talk. At the same time, she established herself as a rock singer by releasing platinum albums such as Heart of Stone (1989) and top-ten singles such as “I Found Someone” and “If I Could Turn Back Time”. She reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the song “Believe”, which features the pioneering use of Auto-Tune, also known as the “Cher effect”. Her 2002–2005 Living The Farewell Tour ended up as the highest-grossing music tour by a female artist then. In 2008, she signed a $60 million per-year deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. After seven years of absence, she returned to film in the 2010 musical Burlesque. Cher’s first studio album in 12 years, Closer to the Truth, became her highest-charting solo album in the U.S. to date.
