Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm so tired of playing

Playing with this bow and this arrow here

I'm gonna give my heart away

And leave it to the other boys out there to play

Been tempted too long

[Verse 2]

Go on, give me a reason to love you

Give me a reason to wanna be your man

Give me a reason to love you

Give me a reason, if you can

[Verse 3]

From this time, unchained

We're all looking at a different picture

Through a different frame of mind

A thousand flowers may bloom

Could it be time to move over?

Move over, and give me some room

[Verse 4]

Give me a reason to love you

Mmm, now, give me a reason

To wanna be your man

Give me a reason to love ya

Please, one reason, if you can

[Verse 5]

Don't you start looking like some woman

Take a little look from the outside

If you can

Move over me now, try a little tenderness

Little shabby dress, I wouldn't care

Only cry for ya, cry for ya

Might, die for ya too

[Verse 6]

Give me a reason to love you

Give me a reason to want to be your man

Give me a reason to love you

Aw please, give me a reason if you can

[Verse 7]

This is the beginning of forever

Forever, and ever, and ever, and ever

It's time to move over now

I'm so tired of playing

Just playing with this bow and this arrow

I'm gonna give my heart away

I'm gonna leave it to the other boys to play

I've been tempted too long

Too long, I've been tempted every day

Tempted too long, oh please

[Verse 8]

Give me a reason to love you

Give me a reason to want to be your man

Give me a reason to love you, love you

Give me a reason, if you can

A reason, yeah, if you again
