Girl when you hold me
How you control me 
You bend and you fold me
Anyway you please
 
It must be easy for you
The loving 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 
'Cos 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 
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, lead 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 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 
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 

I'm just a little old-fashioned 
It'll take more than physical attraction 
My initial reaction is honey give me love 
Not a facsimile of 

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 

Don't love me for fun, ooh baby 
Let me be the one 
Love me, 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
