Lyrics for Song: Why Won't You Love Me
Lyrics for Album: Pulse [2010]
Verse 1:
Hold up wait a minute
Can you tell me
Promise you'll be honest and
You'll tell me everything
That you feel
I just wanna know the truth
Even if it hurts me boo
Tell me now if you can
I just wanna understand
Chorus:
Tell me why
(why, why)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be loved
I keep trying
(Try, Try)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be loved
Heart is crying I need to be loved
Verse 2:
Hold up wait a minute
Can you tell me
Promise you'll be honest and
You'll tell me everything
Keep it real
Is it the way I wear my hair
Just tell me the truth boy
I don't care
Look at me as I am
I just don't understand
Tell me why
(why, why)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be loved
I keep trying
(Try, Try)
Why won't you love me
The way I need to be loved
Heart is crying I need to be loved
[Bridge]
What's wrong with me?
How come you don't wanna be in love with me?
What can I do to be perfect for you?
Tell me I'll do anything
I'll be anything
[Harvey Mason]
I still love you
I'm sorry
And I'm gonna make it up to you baby
I'm gonna love you just the way you need to be loved
I'm gonna love you just the way you need to be loved
Tonight I'm gonna show you
Just how much I love you
I'm gonna love you, love you,
Love you like you need to be loved

About Why Won't You Love Me
{Toni Braxton's "Why Won't You Love Me" stands as a poignant centerpiece on her 2010 album *Pulse*, showcasing her enduring mastery of R&B balladry. Released during a period where she sought to reaffirm her status as a premier vocalist, the track exemplifies her signature ability to blend raw emotional vulnerability with technical precision. The recording features her distinctive, soaring falsetto and a dynamic vocal range that has defined her career since the early 1990s. Thematically, the song explores the frustration and heartbreak of an unrequited relationship, a subject Braxton has addressed with honesty across her discography. It complements other notable tracks from *Pulse* and her earlier works, such as "Unbreak My Heart" and "Another Sad Love Song," by maintaining a consistent narrative of romantic longing. The composition relies on atmospheric production and Braxton's emotive delivery to create a deeply personal listening experience, reinforcing her reputation as a songwriter and performer who prioritizes emotional authenticity over fleeting trends. |
