Love Me for a Reason, by BoyZone
Key: A
Lyrics
[Verse]
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 To love the things that you do
But just a pastime for you I could never be
And I never know, girl If I should stay or go
'Cause the game that you play
Keeps driving me away
[Chorus]
Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason 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
[Verse]
Kisses and caresses are only minor tests, babe
Of love turned to stresses between a woman and a man
So if love everlasting isn't what you're asking
I'll have to pass, girl I'm proud to take a stand
I can't continue guessing because it's only messing
with my pride, and my mind
So write down this from time to time
[Chorus]
Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason 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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason, 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
[Key change]
Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason, 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
