SHE DOESN'T MIND

Luther Vandross and Reed Vertelney

(album: POWER OF LOVE - 1991)



For love you pay the price

You give it up, you sacrifice

And if necessary you compromise

Sometimes it's bitter sweet

You've got to try eight days a week

To create a good enough love to keep

You see hearts belong to fire

So does her love

She burns me up with desire



Chorus I:

My girl's love is right on time

Sweet and sweet and ever kind

She's so fine

(She doesn't, she doesn't)

(She don't mind)

Even when I come home late at night

We don't fuss, we never fight

'Cause the girl loves me to the line

(She doesn't, she doesn't)

(She don't mind)



It was out of my hands

I did my best, please understand

I was late for one of our evening plans

Champagne, dinner for two

With candlelight, she set the mood

But there wasn't anything I could do



(But, she is so forgiving)

The one thing I know is

It's off her love I'm living



Chorus II:

That girl's love is right on time

Sweeter than sweet and ever kind

She's so fine

(She doesn't, she doesn't)

(She don't mind)

Even when I come home late at night

We don't fuss, we never fight

'Cause the girl loves me to the line

(She doesn't, she doesn't)

(She don't mind)



Bridge:

When I go out to play

She doesn't mind if I'm a little bit late

She knows I think about her face

'Til I (Get home)

'Til I get back home

What we gonna do tonight

It's raining heavy and it's cold outside

So let's just love until we get things right

And waste a whole lotta time

(I don't mind)

She don't mind and I don't mind

She don't, don't, don't...



I tell her the things she can't repeat

Makes her little heart just skip a beat

She blush a little bit

And then I find

(She doesn't, she doesn't)

(She don't mind)



Even though our love is C'est Si Bon

Somethimes I like to be alone

Ring the girl on her private line

(She doesn't, she doesn't)

(She don't mind)





Go to work early (Come back late)

Outta my head  (Can't concentrate)

Sometimes my love is a waste of time but...

(She doesn't, she doesn't)

(She don't mind)



She's better ever than she used to be

Loving her is (No mystery)

Sometimes I'm not so sweet and kind

(She doesn't, she doesn't)

(She don't mind)



When I call her in the middle of the day

She's busy at work, but it's okay

But not too busy to give me time

(She doesn't, she doesn't)

(She don't mind)
