Love Me For A Reason    (1974)

Girl when you hold me
How you control me
You bend and you fold me
Any way you please

It must be easy for you
The little things that you do
'Cause whenever you're through
You leave at your ease

And I never know, girl
If I should stay or go, girl
If you're for real or for play
'Cause you never say

But don't love me for fun, hon
Let me be the one, hon
Love me for a reason
And let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, hon
Let me be the one
Love me for a reason
And let the reason be love

Kisses and caresses, well
Are only minor tests, babe
Of love which it stresses
Between a woman and a man
So if I'm just a desire
A lust you have acquired
Then I must quench the fire
And proudly take a stand

I can't continue guessing
Because it's only messing
With my pride, and my mind
Oh, so right now is time to tell yah

Don't love me for fun, hon
Let me be the one, hon
Love me for a reason
And let the reason be love
Don't love me for fun, hon
Let me be the one, hon
Love me for a reason
And let the reason be love

If you're only teasing
Thinking that you're pleasing
You best be believing
It's gonna take a lot more
'Cause I'm a little old-fashioned
It takes more than a physical attraction
My initial reaction is
Honey give me love
Not a facsimile of, baby

Don't love me for fun, hon
Let me be the one, hon
Love me for a reason
And let the reason be love
Oh, don't love me for fun, hon
Let me be the one, hon
Love me for a reason
And let the reason be love
