Summer Song #14... Let's Get It On

Summer is my favorite season & there is something about the heat, heaviness of the garden, & headiness of suntan lotion & sweat, that finds me just ripe for the picking. I know, I know: "Stephen, you are horny in the winter when you want to cuddle by a fire. You want to get physical in the spring when little things are popping up & blooming. You adore amour in the autumn when the air is crisp, crunchy & the close of day is in early evening."

But it is Summer has swayed me to sun & sex for 45 years. Summer of 1973, this song brought out the impetuosity & intensity of my already inflammable libido.
 

I've been really tryin', baby

Tryin' to hold back this feelin' for so long

& if you feel like I feel, baby

Then come on, oh, come on

Let's get it on

Let's get it on

Let's love, baby

Let's get it on, sugar

Let's get it on

We're all sensitive people

With so much to give

Understand me, sugar

Since we got to be

Let's live

I love you

There's nothin' wrong

With me lovin' you

Baby, no, no

& givin' yourself to me can never be wrong

If the love is true

Oh, baby

Don't you know

How sweet & wonderful life can be?

I'm askin' you, baby

To get it on with me

I ain't gonna worry, I ain't gonna push

Won't push you, baby

So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby

Stop beatin' 'round the bush

Let's get it on

Let's get it on

You know what I'm talkin' about

Come on, baby,

Let your love come out

If you believe in love

Let's get it on

Let's get it on, baby

This minute

Let's get it on

Please, please, get it on

I know you know

What I've been dreamin' of

Don't you, baby?

My whole body is in love

I ain't gonna worry, no, I ain't gonna push

I won't push you, baby

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, darlin'

Stop beatin' 'round the bush

Gonna get it on

Beggin' you, baby, I want to get it on

You don't have to worry that it's wrong

If the spirit moves you, let me groove you good

Let your love come down

Oh, get it on, come on, baby

Do you know I mean it?

I've been sanctified

You give me good feelings

Nothin' wrong with love

If you want to love me

Just let yourself go

Oh, baby

Let's get it on
