Love Me for a Reason

Brenda Lee · Now [MCA] [1975]

(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...
