That's What Love Will Make You Do

Lyrics: Thigpen, Banks, Marion
Music: Thigpen, Banks, Marion

Played by Jerry Garcia with Legion Of Mary in the 1970s and later with the JGB. Also played by Butchy Sochorow guesting with the New Riders of the Purple Sage on 31 December 2013 and by Phil Lesh & Friends.

When I speak your name (note 1)
I start to shake inside
When I see you stroll
I lose [my self-]control

Chorus
That's what love will do for you
That's what love will make you do
No matter how hard I fight
Baby I'm still in love you

If you ever need
There's no limit to what I'll do
I'll Work eight days a week, baby
And give it all to you

[chorus]

When they speak of beauty
You can stand the test
When they talk about making love
Baby, you're the best
I Don't want to brag about you too much
Give others ideas
I'm Trying hard to express myself
'Cause baby that's the way I feel

[chorus]

When they speak of beauty
You can stand the test
When they talk about making love
Baby, you're the best
I Don't want to brag about you too much
Give others ideas
I'm Trying hard to express myself
'Cause baby that's the way I feel

[chorus]

No matter how hard I fight it
Baby I'm still in love with you
Notes
(1) Jerry sometimes sang "When I hear your name" and sometimes "When I speak your name" (thanks to Eugene Baran for pointing this out)
