Brenda Lee - Love Me for a Reason Lyrics

(J. Bristol - W. Brown - D. Jones)

Oh, when you hold me
How you control me
You bend and you fold me
Anyway that you please
It must be easy for you
The loving things that you do
Or just a pastime for you
I could never be
And I never know
If I should stay or go
Cause the games that your play
Keep driving me away.

Don't love me for fun
Let me be the one
Love me for the reason
And let the reason be love.

Don't love me for fun
I wanna be the one
Love me for the reason
And let the reason be love.

Kisses and caresses
Are only minor tests babe
Love which it stresses
Between a woman and a man
So if love everlasting
Isn't what your asking
I guess I'll have to pass then
And finally take a stand
I can't continue guessing
Cause its only messing
Up my pride, my mind
So right now it's time to tell ya.

Don't love me for fun babe
I gotta be the one babe
Love me for a reason
And let the reason be love.

Don't love me for fun babe
I want to be the one babe
Love me for a reason
And let the reason be love...
