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 loving' things that you do
are just a pastime for you
I could never be
And I never know, girl
if I should stay or go, girl
'Cause the games that 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 we’ve been stressing
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
up my pride, up my mind,
so right now it’s time to tell ya.

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

Oh, baby, I'm just a little
old-fashioned
it takes more than a
physical attraction
My initial reaction is
honey, give me love
not a facsimile of love

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
