Let me be your love maker
Let me be your soul shaker
Let me be your love maker
Wanna be your soul shaker

Around this time last summer
When you and I first met
Well I thought I was cool
Playing by the rules
Trying to play so hard to get....

So you went and found yourself some good time guy
Gave you all the lovin' you needed
Well I didn't know a thing
About the thrills love could bring
I was young, and selfish and conceited...

I know you don't think I'm ready
C'mon baby, open your eyes and see yeah
I'll show you just how ready I am
I'll love away all your misery

Let me be your love maker
Let me your soul shaker
Let me be your love maker
Wanna be your soul shaker

It must have been around this time last year
I was blind to all the good things that you said
Now the sweet words you spoke
I took them for a joke
Though they were strong enough to raise the dead...

And now I know you think baby you've been wasting
All of your good time and mine
(But I'll tell ya) I'm ready to do
Anything you want me to
I'm your man and I ain't lyin'...

I know you don't think I'm ready
Cmon woman, open your eyes and see yeah
I'll show you just how ready I am
I'll love away all your misery

I know you don't think I'm ready
Cmon woman, open your eyes and see yeah
I'll show you just how ready I am
I'll love away all your misery

Let me be your love maker
Let me your soul shaker
(repeat/adlib)
Love maker
Love maker
(adlib/fade out)

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
