Make Me Over Songtext
von Ike & Tina Turner

I′m talking to the priest, the high priest
And all of y'all out there in the universe
If what I′m saying is wrong
Tell me the right way to say it
'Cause I wanna be done over

Paint me red, oh, paint me green
Gimme liberty, oh, wash me clean
Make me over, make me twice
'Cause when I′m done, Lord, I wanna be right

Hey, Lord, make me over
I wanna be done over
Hey, Lord, make me over
I wanna be done over

Make me smart, make me keen
Gimme a lot, ah, gimme steam
I want eternal beauty, spiritual things
′Cause when I'm done, oh, I wanna be a good thing


Hey, Lord, make me over
I wanna be done over
Hey, Lord, make me over
I wanna be done over
Hey, Lord, listen to me

I wanna go places, oh, I wanna do some things
I wanna be a star, oh, I wanna have a big name
And in my heart, let beauty reign
′Cause when I'm done, oh, I wanna have fame

Hey, Lord, make me over
I wanna be made over
Oh, Lord, make me over
I wanna be done over

Lord, make me nice, make me good
Lord, gimme power, gimme love
Lord, gimme everything, everything
I wanna be desirable, tantalizing, voluptuous

Hey, Lord, make me over
I wanna be made over
Hey, Lord, make me over
I wanna be done over


I wanna be done over
I wanna be done over
I wanna be done over
How ′bout doin' me twice
Make sure I′m only right
Hey, Lord, listen to me
Woo!
Oh, Lord, Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord, please, make me over
I want a second chance
And before I come back down here to this earth
When I come back this time I wanna be in demand
And, Lord, do a good job on me
Make me over, I wanna be made over
Hey, Lord, make me over
