Song background
The song, which was released as an answer of sorts to Teddy Pendergrass' hit "Turn Off the Lights" was an ode to love sung by Ronald Isley, who begs his lady in his trademark falsetto to give him her love, stating if "people say that love is for the giving/so lemme love you, girl".

The song was also their last Top 40 pop hit in 16 years, peaking at number 39 pop while reaching number one on the R&B singles chart.[1]
