Love me
for a reason

G D
- Dm C
1. Girl, when you hold me, how you control me,
G Am - G D
you
bend and you fold me, anyway you
please.
G D - Dm C
It must be easy for you, the loving things that you do,
G
Am - G D
but
just a pastime for you I could
never be.
Bm Em - Am D
And I never know, girl, if I should stay or go,
Bm Em Am
C
’cause the
games that you play keep driving me away.
G D - C G
Don’t love me for fun girl, let me be the one girl,
C G C D
love me for a reason, let the
reason be love.
G D
- C G
Don’t love me for fun, girl, let me be the one girl,
C G C D

2. Kisses and caresses are
only minor tests, babe,
G Am
- G D
of
love leads to stresses between a woman and a man.
G D - Dm C
So if love everlasting isn’t what you’re asking,
G Am - G D
I’ll have to pass, girl, I’m proud to take a stand.
Bm Em -
Am D
I can’t continue guessing, because it’s only messing,
Bm
Em
Am C
with
my pride and my mind, so write down this time to time.

old-fashioned, it takes more than
physical attraction,
Bm Em Am C
my
initial reaction is, honey, give me love, not a facsimile of.
