Because I Love You, Girl

by The Stylistics

The Stylistics are a soul music vocal group, and were one of the best-known Philadelphia soul groups of the 1970s. They formed in 1968, and were composed of lead Russell Thompkins, Jr., Herb Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith, and James Dunn. All of their US hits were ballads, graced by the soaring falsetto of Russell Thompkins, Jr. and the lush productions of Thom Bell, which helped make the Stylistics one of the most successful soul groups of the first half of the 1970s." During the early 1970s, the group had twelve consecutive U.S. R&B top ten hits, including "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)", "You Are Everything", "Betcha by Golly, Wow", "I'm Stone in Love with You", "Break Up to Make Up", and "You Make Me Feel Brand New".



A rose in Harlem starts to bloom
 The world is like a toy balloon
 I hear a love song and I cry
 And I know why
 Because I love you, girl
 Because I love you, girl
 You know there's nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
 Nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
 For you because I love you
 If you ask me for the moon
 Of course Id show up the moon
 No matter what you ask Ill try
 And you know why
 Because I love you, girl
 Because I love you, girl
 You know there's nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
 Nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
 For you because I love you
 Because I love you, girl
 Because I love you, girl
 You know there's nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
 Nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
 For you because I love you
