Love Me for a Reason

Girl, when you hold me, how you control me

You bend and you fold me anyway you please

It must be easy for you, the loving things that you do

But just a pastime for you, I could never be

And I never know, girl

If I should stay or go (Or go away, girl)

'Cause the games that you play (The games you play)

Keep driving me away

Don't love me for fun, girl

Let me be the one, girl

Love me for a reason

And let the reason be love

Don't love me for fun, girl

Let me be the one, girl

Love me for a reason

Let the reason be love

Kisses and caresses are only minor tests, babe

Of love, lead to stresses, between a woman and a man

(Between a woman and a man)

So if love everlasting isn't what you're asking

I'll have to pass, girl, and proudly take a stand

I can't continue guessing

Because it's only messing (It's only messing)

Up my pride and my mind (Up my pride and my mind)

So right now, it's time to tell you

Don't love me for fun, girl

Let me be the one, girl

Love me for a reason

Let the reason be love

Don't love me for fun, girl

Let me be the one, girl

Love me for a reason

Let the reason be love

Ooh, baby

I'm just a little old fashioned

It takes more than a physical attraction (Attraction)

My initial reaction is, honey, give me love (I need love)

Not a facsimile of (True love)

Don't love me for fun, girl

Let me be the one, girl (Ooh, girl)

Love me for a reason

Let the reason be love

Don't love me for fun, girl

Let me be the one, girl (Old rule, baby)

Love me for a reason

Let the reason be love

Don't love me for fun

Ooh baby, let me be the one

Love me, love me for a reason (Love me for a reason)

Let the reason be love (Be love)

Don't love me for fun, girl

Let me be the one, girl (Let me be the one, girl)

Love me for a reason (Ooh, yeah)

Let the reason be love
