Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So tired of playing
Playing with this bow and this arrow
I'm gonna give my heart away
And leave it to the other boys out there to play
Been tempted too long
Go on
Gimmie a reason to love you
[Verse 2]
From this time, unchained
We're all lookin' at a different picture through a different
Frame of mind
A thousand flowers may bloom
What a good time to move over
Move over and give us some room
[Verse 3]
Gimmie a reason to love you
Gimmie a reason to wanna be your man
[Verse 4]
Gimmie a reason to love you
Oh, now gimmie a reason to wanna be your man
Gimmie a reason to love you
[Verse 5]
Gimmie a reason to love you
Gimmie a reason to wanna be your man
[Verse 6]
Don't you start lookin' like some woman
Take a little look from the outside if you can
Look at me now
Saw a little tenderness
[Verse 7]
Gimmie a reason to love you
Gimmie a reason to wanna be your man
Gimmie a reason that I need to love you
Gimmie a reason if you can
[Verse 8]
This is the beginning of forever
And ever, ever, ever, ever
[Verse 9]
So tired of playing
Of playing with this bow and this arrow
I'm gonna give my heart away
Gonna leave it to the other boys to play
I've been tempted too long
Too long, I've been tempted every day
Tempted for too long
[Verse 10]
Gimmie a reason to love you
Gimmie a reason to want to be your man
Gimmie a reason to love you
To love you
Gimmie a reason every day
A reason
