That's What Love Is Made Of

About That's What Love Is Made Of

"That's What Love Is Made Of" was a 1964 hit song by Motown's original vocal group, The Miracles, issued on the label's Tamla records subsidiary (Tamla 54102). It was taken from the group's album Greatest Hits from the Beginning, but originally appeared on their abortive 1964 album, I Like It Like That. Written by Miracles members Smokey Robinson, Bobby Rogers, and Pete Moore, this song was a Billboard Top 40 Pop hit, peaking at # 35, and a Top 10 Billboard R&B hit, peaking at #9. A showcase for poetic wordplay, The Miracles utilized several famous nursery rhymes in this song; in fact, the song's title itself is a variation of the rhyme "What Are Little Girls/Little Boys Made Of?" and parts of this famous rhyme were incorporated into the lyrics of this song, which, like many Miracles songs, starts with the guitar licks of Miracles member Marv Tarplin. Robinson, as the lead singer, serves as the song's narrator: "You take Sugar and Spice... Everything Nice... and you've got a little girl, yeah, yeah... You take Snakes and Snails.... Puppy Dog's tails...and you've got a little boy, yeah, yeah... That's what Love Is Made Of...." The song illustrates that love is never easy, consisting of good times, bad times, heartbreak, jubilation, breakups and makeups ..."That's What Love is Made Of". While Tarplin plays and Robinson sings the lyrics, the other Miracles (Bobby Rogers, Ronnie White, Pete Moore and Claudette Robinson, answer in classic call-and-response style. more »

You take sugar and spice
Everything nice
And you got a little girl
You take snakes and snails
Some puppy dog tails
And you got a little boy

That's what love is made of
That's what love is made of

Snakes snails puppy dog tails
Sugar and spice and everything nice
Yeah yeah all right
Something else to do

You take a walk by the sea
Two hearts on a tree
And you got a little gladness
Blue eyes cry
Two hearts say goodbye
And you got a little sadness

That's what love is made of
That's what love is made of

Hearts say goodbye
Eyes start to cry
Heart on a tree
Walk by the sea
Snakes snails puppy dog tails
Sugar and spice everything nice
Yeah yeah all right

One more thing
You take a cruel word spoken
Pride gets broken
And you got a little break-up
You take a little bit of soul
Sweet words being told
And you got a little make-up

That's what love is made of
That's what love is made of

Words being told
With a little bit of soul
Pride gets broken
Cruel words spoken
Hearts say goodbye
Eyes start to cry
Walk by the sea
Snakes snails puppy dog tails
Sugar and spice everything nice
Yeah yeah all right
