Peabo Bryson - What You Won't Do For Love Lyrics






I guess you wondered where I've been
I've searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let it go

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let it go

Some people go around the world for love
And they may never find what they dream of

What you won't do, do for love
You tried everthing but you don't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love what I would not do

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
I'm in a daze from your love you see
And I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let it go, yeah

You know I only want the best, it's true
If you believe the things I do for you

What you won't do, come on do it for love
You've tried everything but you won't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love what I would not do

Peabo Bryson What You Won't Do For Love Comments
  1. m.... f....

    Diss shit ass ,booty,shit, wtf

  2. K.... S....

    Yes, Bobby Caldwell is THEE best for this song...he owns it/kills it!!!

  3. A.... M....

    Peabo is one of the most underrated artists for his lifetime achieved career body of work.Im a big fan but I’m sorry..this song is meant for Bobby Caldwell.The only I’ve ever heard do him justice was the late great Phyllis Hyman..

  4. r.... s....

    A meme got me here

  5. D.... S....

    Yeahhhhh...

  6. d.... g....

    nice version

  7. T.... G....

    I know that Bobby Caldwell recorded the original version but I like this duet person better. It's the harmony that does it for me.

  8. H.... N....

    Muito show!!!💃💃🎼🎵

  10. S.... ....

    THEY FUCKED UP A PERFECT SONG. WHEN A SONG IS PERFECT BY THE ORIGINAL ARTIST, LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE!!! THIS IS A MESS.

  11. a.... b....

    Took down 😬

  12. a.... b....

    Even though they took done the video, from NewYork Undercover, Montell Jordan blew Bobby’s song up ! Just sayin.. the version from Montell that’s still up is ok but the version from NY Undercover was raw! phatband versioni is phat too .

  13. A.... ....

    The arrangement on this, as well as Natalie's contribution are horrible..and I LOVE Natalie dearly. But she needs to hop off the track, as well as all the unnecessary brass horns.

  14. S.... ....

    Wasn't this a theme song to a sit-com in the 80's (or something like that)?

  15. L.... L....

    ❤❤❤❤

  16. K.... J....

    there u go pesbo and Natalie .

  17. S.... ....

    Miss Cole sounding very funky and soulful on this one. I like this version just as I like Bobby's - no right or wrong - just good music. This is the first version I came across and it went on from there - used to have this in my car on cassette for those romantic drives with the ladies :) from vinyl of course.

    Peace

  18. d.... ....

    When Peabo does his number, his songs, NOBODY, does it quite like him!

    But this  song belongs to Mr Bobby Caldwell.  sorry.....

    d.... ....

    dustee gotta agree. It's almost too much going on for my taste

    d.... ....

    dustee it does I agree

    d.... ....

  23. a.... f....

    thanx mr. Byrd. those are next on my search list

  24. J.... B....

    I love Bobby Caldwell, Peabo Bryson's versions for sure. But, you must check out Roy Ayers version!!!! #Timeless

  25. L.... S....

    I would be glad to help.

  26. L.... S....

    Luciano, it is "should've gone". Have gone. I have gone.
    He has gone. Not he has went, and not should have went.

  27. H.... ....

    bobby wrote this song
    he's the original.

  28. G.... ....

    Bobby Caldwell wrote , and released this song in 1978 , he is the orignal artist. Now , everyone happy .

  29. t.... ....

    Love this combo- Peabo of course is great solo or not. I personally would love him with Rachelle Ferrelle like when they sang on the tribute to Patti. But I'm bias I will admit I love Natalie when she sings jazz, demonstrates her vocal agility and creativity. thanks for posting

  30. j.... b....

    Bobby Caldwell and Go West did a better job with their covers

    j.... b....

    jason buonocore bobby created the song lol

  31. R.... W....

    I'm a little frustrated , I may very well be in the minority, but I feel the original song w/o a duet partner is the truest form of this song, I can't find it. It's like the man went duet crazy, and I Iost
    interest, I'm not a big Peabo fan but, the brother can sing & I prefer the original songs without the partners, some of whom lack the chops to sing with this brother...

    R.... W....

    There you go....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgoTDGu8cho

  32. G.... L....

    typo- Peabo

  33. G.... L....

    I love Peaobo and Natalie but I love the original version

  34. M.... D....

    YESSSSS!!!! love jessie ware - devotion - the album out monday!!!

  35. r.... ....

    Jessie Ware does a recent version

  36. T.... B....

    I love this version.

  37. c.... l....

    Anthony, you make me do for you what I would never do for another!!!! I love you now, this day, tomorrow, forever, my tender sweet Love!

  38. S.... D....

    MR BOBBY CALDWELL

  39. S.... W....

    class is always class no matter how its wrapped up and presented. Paebo.... Master of his craft x

  40. E.... ....

    Your right on the money, these people know their trade

  41. E.... B....

    Peabo is the MAN !!!!People this is when music was music!!!!!


    Earline

  42. E.... G....

    Congratulations for the good taste

  43. M.... J....

    This is a good version, I like it, but nothing beats the original

  44. B.... C....

    Bobby Caldwell wrote this song and did the original recording.

  45. B.... ....

    Is Bobby Cadwell the original singer of this song? or did he cover it from someone else?

    B.... ....

    BigFootOwl he wrote it originally

    B.... ....

    BigFootOwl Bobby is the original writer and singer.

  46. V.... C....

    Peabo was just in Cleveland with the Orchestra. His voice has just gotten better with age. His voice set me on fire. I thought I was gonna fall out!

  47. n.... ....

    @currymel He's got a wonderful voice, that's why he takes your breath away ! OMG !

  48. J.... E....

    Beautiful version ! Second only to the original .

  49. i.... ....

    bobby caldwell ftw

  50. 5.... ....

    their both good

  51. M.... ....

    I'd settle for Bryson or Caldwells versions,they're both graet.About 1000 times better than most of the bull shit music nowadays.

  52. O.... ....

    Again, folks...why are you wasting time posting about which version is "better"? This is a cover tune, it's about taking a musical idea and expounding, allowing the artists to express HIM- or HER-self (unlike contemporary remakes which feature artists trying to do songs exactly as they were done originally). I love Bobby Caldwell's original version, but I like this one, too...particularly the horn arrangement.

  53. T.... ....

    2pac version is the best then bobby

  54. J.... D....

    Bobby's is better, but you can't knock Peabo. His is nice too.

  55. M.... ....

    @boxingnut1986 bobby

  56. r.... ....

    This is the best version, hands down

  57. a.... b....

    who did it first bobby caldwell or peabo

    a.... b....

    ant bub Bobby

  58. D.... J....

    I came back 2 let you know.....

  59. s.... v....

    he is beautiful

  60. K.... ....

    HELLA YEAH PEABO KILLS IT BLESS TOO THA OLD SCHOOL
    LOVE PEABO LOVE TRU MUSIC

  61. P.... L....

    what a song what a singer PEABOOOOOO

  62. k.... ....

    Peabo, I LOVE You!!!!

  63. T.... ....

    @usasoft22 This version is with Natalie Cole .... and if you think she should be fired, then you really should stop listening to music or at least stop commenting on what you don't know about.

  64. n.... ....

    I am in a PEABO BRYSON MOOD & LOVING IT!

  65. C.... P....

    Bobby Caldwell wrote it

  66. e.... e....

    my favourite song

  67. S.... ....

    Bobby Cadwell best and original but give Peabo his due, he does it justice with this jazz up version.

  68. b.... ....

    @SuperEarthwindfire Yeas....!

  69. R.... M....

    Bobby does it better all the times, although this version sounds good.

  70. M.... J....

    @ZadiLady : Check out Phyllis Hyman's version of "What You Won't Do For Love"...You may change your mind.

  71. W.... ....

    @miriamm33 Thank you, Miriamm33. Can you tell me what 'Obvious Irony' is? Nevermind. If I refer to 'Donnie & Roberta' without their last names - do you think I might be familiar with their catalouge? And - duh! ER?

    Would you like to buy a bridge in Brooklyn? Good price!

  72. P.... P....

    Best of all time. Classic . Masters of the art for real!!!!!!

  73. J.... H....

    Peabo and Natalie nail this version of this classic soul song.End of story .

  74. G.... J....

    CHA CHA music from folks who can actually sing!

  75. I.... A....

    I love it and "do for love" of Tupac :p <3

  76. s.... ....

    suuuper lg minou

  77. m.... ....

    This is a jam! many versions, but I love Peabo and Natalie!

  78. m.... ....

    Peabo was not in Coming to America or ER. Donnie and Roberta Flack did record a version of this. Learn your music!

    Old Peabo really had it going on! Thanks Hamishblues for posting this!

  79. W.... ....

    Sounds fun as a duet. Too bad Donnie and Roberta never recorded it.

    Peabo was good in Coming To America with Eddie Murphy. I liked him on ER, too.

  80. S.... S....

    Great posting--I just did a cover of this one!! But this is really nice --of course--natalie and Peabo.
