(L. Vandross, N. Adderley, Jr.)
Lately love, keeps keeping me wake at night
Tossing and turning, my love
Wanna kiss, wanna hold you so tight.
Ooo but I wonder love, whether you know or not.
When you just hurry away, leaving me laying there in shock.
I just wanna be the one that you wanna see
I just wanna have you near me
But you fly away almost everyday
You work a lot, you never stop to love
Stop, I love you, stop
Come home from the road
Gotta stop to love
And let's celebrate, the love we got, stop
Say you're coming home
You say my love has always been on your mind
But how can I ever love you, when you keep working overtime?
Too many empty nights, could make almost any guy
To look for the love he don't get whenever he's alone at home.
Awaiting the day, that you're coming to stay
I hate to see you go away, but you couldn't rest
Had to be the best to reach the top
But you did not stop to love
And one day you'll discover I'm the one who loves ya
(Gotta stop to love)
No one does you better
Can't you stay forever?
(Stop to love)
I can hardly stand the loneliness
Come on stay, 'cause that's what it's all about
You really turn me out
