MAKING LOVE ALONE
Original lyric
by Marilyn Miller and Cheryl Hardwick
Additional and altered lyrics
by Sam Harris

A LOG THROWN ON THE FIRE,
TWO PROFILES MEET AS ONE
THE IGNITING OF DESIRE IN THE AIR
BUT WHEN THERE'S JUST ONE PROFILE
AND YET DESIRE GROWS
DESPITE THE FACT
THERE'S NO ONE ELSE TO CARE
MUST ROMANCE BE ABANDONED
AS IT'S FANNING ITS OWN FLAME
RAGING TO BURST FULL BLOWN?
NO.

THERE'S A SPECIAL KIND OF BLISS
NOT ENGENDERED BY A KISS
SURREPTITIOUSLY INDULGED,
THOUGH MORE, WELL KNOWN
FOR WHEN ONE CANNOT
MAKE LOVE WITH ANOTHER
ONE CAN STILL MAKE LOVE ALONE

THERE'S A CERTAIN SPECIAL MAGIC
TO THE TOUCH OF YOUR OWN HAND
AND THE BURNING THRILL
KNOWING THAT YOU WILL
FOR SURE SOON BE FEELING GRAND
AND THAT TENDER SWELL OF RAPTURE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY TO POSTPONE
THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE
WHEN YOU'RE MAKING LOVE ALONE

OH THE SWEET SWEET SOUND
OF YOUR OWN BREATHING
WHEN THERE'S NO ONE ELSE
YOU HAVE TO PLEASE
WITH THE CAREFREE FACT
THAT YOU CAN'T CONTRACT
THOSE PESKY STDS
IT'S THE KIND OF LOVE
THAT FITS HAND IN GLOVE
AND TAKES LIKE A DOG TO A BONE
THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE
WHEN YOU'RE MAKING LOVE ALONE.

NO NEED TO STIFLE
EVERY PASSIONATE SHOUT
YOU EMIT WHEN ABOUT TO ARRIVE
YOU SETTLE BACK
AND FEEL THE CONSTANT DEVOTION
OF ONE TOUCH OF LOTION
AND SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE
-- ALL BY MYSELF!
IT'S SO SIMPLER TO FEEL THE ADMIRATION
AND SATISFACTION OF YOUR OWN SIZE
THERE'S NO SMALL TALK
OR CLUMSY CONVERSATION
AND RARELY TEARFUL GOOD BYES
WHEN THERE'S NO ONE THERE
THERE'S A CASUAL FLARE
TO CASTING OFF SEEDS UNSOWN

CAUSE THE DATE
WHO YOU CAN'T SEE THEIR FACE IS
THE ONE WHO KNOWS
ALL THE RIGHT PLACES
YOU'RE THE GUEST OF THE BEST
OF YOUR TESTOSTERONE

DUE TO THE SIMPLE MAGIC OF MAKING LOVE,
NOT TAKING, FAKING OR MISTAKING LOVE,
BUT THE SIMPLE MAGIC OF MAKING LOVE ALONE
-- ASK JOEY FATONE!
THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE
WHEN YOU'RE MAKING LOVE ALONE
-- ASK PATTI LUPONE!
THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE
WHEN YOU'RE MAKING LOVE ALONE
-- ASK MELISSA AND JOAN!
THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE
WHEN YOU'RE MAKING LOVE
ALO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O...
-- (I'M NOT DONE YET!)
...O-O-O-O-O-O-ONE!!


Making Love Alone was originally written for Bernadette Peters when she was hosting Saturday Night Live in 1981. Sam has been singing his altered version for many years.

  • FOR THOSE WHO ARE ASKING ABOUT THE SONG: The song was written by Miller/Hardwick but Sam rewrote a good deal of the lyric to make it his own and to do it from a masculine point of view. Also the arrangement that he and Todd did adds a new freshness, making it pure Sam.

  • That was HYSTERICAL! Now go wash up!

    LOL - thanks for sharing - I hope I get to see you at some point in my life in concert and I hope this is included!

    (and I do mean the concert part...)

  • Sam's great. I don't understand why he isn't more famous.

  • I love Bernadette, I love this song in general, and I love Sam Harris. I did the Gay Gasp when I found this video.

  • You are a modern day Helen Lawson !

  • Yes, IndianaDoxMom, I remember that, too. That's precisely why I looked for this--to see if there were a vid of her singing it. I had no idea it was this guy's number. It's a scream, and she was brilliant. So is this one. Great song.

  • I remember Bernadette Peters doing this song on SNL ages ago, maybe 20+ years?

  • Good stuff. 20 stars.

  • Thank you Sam.

  • rgg216...not only what was and what can be...but also what is

  • gives tongue in cheek a whole new meaning :)

  • I enjoy hearing people sing in rehearsal mode.
