Written by Luther Vandross, Nat Adderley, Jr.



Ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh…

Yeah…yeah…

Ooh…ooh…

Eah…eah…eah…

Oh…



What's there to say, there's not much to talk about

And whatever happened to all of the love that we vowed

Yes, it's true

And there's nothing new

You can say



Give me the reason to want you back

Why should I love you again

Do you know, tell me how

How to forgive and forget



Give me the reason to love you now

It's been a mighty long time

And the love that used to be

Ended the day you walked out



Never knew I'd ever be

Standing alone and outside

With no one to love



Yeah…eah…

Ooh…ooh…eah…



I was secure and so glad there was you to love

What in the world would I ever do without us

But it's getting clear

That I have to get over you



Give me the reason to want you back

Why should I love you again

Do you know, tell me how

How to forgive and forget



Give me the reason to love you now

It's been a mighty long time

And the love that used to be

Ended the day you walked out



Never knew I'd ever be

Standing alone and outside

With no one to love



No one, no one to love

No one, no one to love

No one, no one to love

No one, no one to love



Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

You, ooh…eah…eah…



Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah



Give me the reason to want you back

Why should I love you again

Do you know, tell me how

How to forgive and forget



Give me the reason to love you now

It's been a mighty long time

And the love that used to be

Ended the day you walked out



Give me the reason

To love you, girl

To love you, girl

To love you, girl

To love you, girl

To love you, girl



Give me the reason

To love you, girl

To love you

To love you, girl

Ooh



To love you, girl

To love you, girl

To love you, girl

To love you, girl
