Vandross, Luther - For You To Love Lyrics






[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
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 1:]
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

[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

[Chorus 2:]
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)
'Cause honey it's you I love

[Bridge:]
I wanted to see you
I wanted to make your day
I got myself ready
To hear the words you say
'Cause sometimes you talk to me so emotionally
But then, you pull it back, baby
Just let yourself love me

[Chorus 3:]
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

[Fade]

    I love this song!! I used to listen to this song on my radio when the slow jams come on at night and I used to turn it up!!! You had an amazing voice Luther!!! R.I.P.

  3. c.... J....

    Such a sexy song!!!!!

  4. G.... B....

    In my opinion this song is just about perfect for 4 reasons. It has all of the qualities that I consider important in a song. Within this genre of music I feel as though this song nails it. 1. Luther V. can sing his butt off. And he's a singers singer. Meaning specifically, I believe he came up with most if not all of those beautiful supporting and background harmonies. He doesn't over riff, doesn't sing extremely high unless the song calls for it. Oh yeah, and he doesn't sing nasally. Figuratively speaking he wins first place in the bbq chicken cook off because he has the best bbq sauce yet the sauce NEVER covers or hides the tastes of the chicken, but instead compliments it. 2. This is a really good well written song, melody, lyrics, harmonies. Even a lesser singer a would sound ok with this song because of the level of artistry of the song itself and the instrumental arrangement, which brings me to the 3rd point. 3. That damn instrumental arrangement. A perfect compliment to Luthers vocals, not overbearing, yet not too thin, with a pinch, just a pinch of straight up funk. (listen closely to the bass line.) Also listen carefully to all of the complimentary sounds going on in the background. But never does the music overshadow the singer. Think Jordan/Pippen. If Luther's singing is at level 10, then that arrangement at level 10 also but it's intentionally pulled back to around a 7 or 8 so as not to outshine the vocals. I could easily see the vocals stripped from this song and letting an acoustic guitar do all of lead lines as in a smooth jazz type song. 4. Production value, not sure exactly when this song dropped, but Stevie Wonder and Earth Wind and Fire, started that whole high level production/song arrangement stuff. Well maybe not "started" it, but they surely were the 1st artist I can recall that just had that big phat, full instrumental arrangement sound. (In music other than film scores, or classical) This is old news now and extremely common these days and for the last 25 or so years. But at the time of this recording that sound was just amazing. And finally the sum of all of these qualities is far greater than the sum of each part separately.
