  • Lately love keeps keeping me wake at night
    Tossing and turning, my love
    Wanna kiss you, wanna hold you so tight
    Oh but I wonder love whether you know or not
    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 but you never stop to love

    (Stop) I love you stop (stop)
    Come home from the road
    (Gotta stop to love)
    And let's celebrate (celebrate) the love we got (stop)
    Say you're coming home

    (Gotta stop to love)
    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, can make almost any guy roam
    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 baby, but you couldn't rest
    Had to do your best to reach the top
    But you did not stop to love

    (Stop) I love you stop (stop)
    Come home from the road
    (Gotta stop to love)
    And let's celebrate (celebrate) the love we got (stop)
    Say you're coming home

    (Gotta stop to love)
    And one day you'll discover I'm the one who love ya
    (Gotta stop to love)
    No one loves you better
    Can't you stay forever?
    (Stop to love)
    I can hardly stand the loneliness
    Come on home, that's what it's all about
    You really turn me out

    I love you stop (stop)
    Love you stop (stop)
    Come home from the road
    (Gotta stop to love)
    And let's celebrate (celebrate) the love we got (stop)
    Say you're coming home
    (Gotta stop to love)

    I love you stop (stop)
    I still love you stop (stop)
    Come home from the road
    (Gotta stop to love)
    And let's celebrate (celebrate) all the love we got (stop)
    Say you're coming home Writer/s: LUTHER VANDROSS, NAT, JR ADDERLEY
