It's not clear but it was probably about Tammi Terrell. shrug

Okay,here's my funny childhood story regarding this song lol

Back in 1974,my parents had the 'Let's Get It On' album.I was a little kid so I was just learning how to read.I would always look at album covers,read the song titles and try to figure out what it was called.Being a silly kid,I assumed that this song was titled "Dristan Lover"...lol...in the 70s,Dristan was a popular over-the-counter nasal spray.I was wondering why Marvin would do a song about it,lol.

My fave song from him,,,,,ever.

Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone

Yeah, and you can argue that 'Just To Keep You Satisfied' was a prelude to the Here, My Dear album, which was released 5 years later.

Wasn't the whole album about Janice,,,or was I Want You about her?

The only thing I know is when Ed Townsend wanted him to sing "If I Should Die Tonight" to HER in person,,,,I know you know the rest because I seem like I forgot it lol

Not entirely. "Let's Get It On" wasn't really about her, Marvin was experiencing one night stands before he dated JANIS (Marvin hated it when they called her Jan or Janice, lol). I think "If I Should Die Tonight" was the only song where he was INSPIRED about Janis. I Want You was about Janis tho.

The live recording of this is one of my favourites of all-time. I love the way the crowd reacts to the lyrics.
