For You to Love Lyrics by Luther Vandross

Any Love

1988

[Verse 1]
It's the middle of the night
And I can't sleep at all (I'm so uptight)
Tossin' and turnin' is how I've spent the time
I've got so much on my mind, hey hey
Something's got a hold on me
I think it's love, don't you agree? (It's got to be)
I don't feel better
I know what I've got to do
I've got to get next to you
[Chorus]
So I came here (For you to love)
In the pouring rain (For you to love)
And I know I'm ready (For you to love)
I'll be the best I can (Honey, for you to love)
'Cause honey it's you I love
Love, love, love, yeah
Honey, it's you I love, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I start to wonder what is true
And I get so confused (What should I do?)
You make me worry
When you say you understand
But that I can't be your man
Something's gotta change your mind
Now, if I get my love to you in time
(Then you'll be mine)
Ooh, I've got to get over
Yes, that's what I've gotta do
Look out 'cause I'm after you, and hey...
[Chorus]
I came here (For you to love)
In a hurricane (For you to love)
Just to be ready (For you to love)
I'll be the kind of man (Honey, for you to love)
Oh, honey, it's you I love
Love, love, love, love
Oh, honey, it's you I love, you know it
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh...
[Bridge]
I wanted to see you
I wanted to make your day
I got myself ready
To hear the words you would say
'Cause sometimes you talk to me so emotionally
But then, you pull it back, baby
Just let yourself love me
Love, love, love, love, love, oh yeah
Love love, love, oh yeah
[Chorus]
You see, I came here (For you to love)
I took a train, my dear (For you to love)
So, you know I'm ready (For you to love)
Never doubt, never fear (Honey, for you to love)
'Cause oh honey it's you I love
Yeah yeah, ooh ooh ooh, love
Ooh, honey, it's you I love
Yeah, yeah
[Outro]
You see, for you to love, for you to love (For you to love)
That's why I'm here now, baby
For you to love, for you to love (For you to love)
Ooh ooh, hey
For you to love, for you to love (For you to love)
That's why I'm here now
I'm right here, I'm right here (Honey, for you to love)
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah (For you to love)
Oh, ooh, nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah (For you to love)
Ooh, ooh, nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah (For you to love)
Oh, ooh, nah, nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah (Honey, for you to love)
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah (For you to love)
Yeah, nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah (For you to love)
Hey, ooh, hey (for you to love)
Oh, ooh, nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah (Honey, for you to love)
