Songfacts:
Minnie Riperton wrote this with her husband, Richard Rudolph.
Riperton worked with Stevie Wonder as a backup singer, and Stevie produced this track for her. Due to contractual obligations, Wonder’s name could not appear on the credits, so he’s listed as “Black Bull Productions” (Wonder’s zodiac sign is Taurus, thus the bull).
Riperton died of cancer in 1979 at age 31. While this was her only hit, she was held in high regard in the music community.

Lyrics:
Lovin’ you is easy ’cause you’re beautiful
Makin’ love with you is all I wanna do
Lovin’ you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that I do is out of lovin’ you
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la, la la, la la la
Do do do, do do, ah
