[Verse 1]
Lovin' you is easy cause you're beautiful
Makin' love with you is all I wanna do
Lovin' you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that I do is out of lovin' you

[Chorus]
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
Do do do do do, ooh

[Verse 2]
No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime
Cause lovin' you has made my life so beautiful
And every day of my life is filled with lovin' you
Lovin' you I see your soul come shinin' through
And every time that we, ooh, I'm more in love with you

And every day of my life is filled with lovin' you
Lovin' you I see your soul come shinin' through
And every time that we, ooh, I'm more in love with you

Minnie Riperton

One of the most well-known vocalists to come out of the 1970s, singer-songwriter Minnie Riperton stands as a great influential figure for the Soul genre and many artists within this style of music.

Riperton began involving herself with the music industry in 1961 when, as a member of the Chicago-based girl-group The Gems, she worked as a backing vocalist for big artists of the time, such as Etta James. After releasing a few singles under Chess Records, The Gems disbanded, leaving 21-year-old Riperton to continue on as a solo artist, releasing “Lonely Girl” and “You Gave Me Soul” in 1966.

While recording under the alias “Andrea Davis,” she joined the group Rotary Connection as the lead vocalist in 1967, who released fifth full-lengths albums, before disbanding in 1974, giving Riperton the chance to fully invest herself in her solo career. In 1970, she released her first official album, Come to My Garden, which has since been called a masterpiece and the stepping stone for Riperton’s success. Following this release, she chose to devote her time to her children Marc and Maya Rudolph, and husband Richard Rudolph, in Florida.
