Reasons why I love you, one
You light my day, you are my sun
Reasons why I love you, two
I cannot get enough of you

Reasons why I love you, three
I know that you'll be true to me
The reason I will stay with you
I know you'll love me too

The reason I will stay with you
I know that you'll love me too

Tere bina menoo chain nah aaveh, oh soniye
Tere bina menoo chain nah aaveh, oh soniye
Tere bina menoo chain nah aaveh, oh soniye
Tere bina menoo chain nah aaveh, oh soniye

Reasons why I love you, four
You keep me coming back for more
Reasons why I love you, five
You make my world come alive

Reasons why I love you, six
I'm addicted, you're my fix
The reason I will stay with you
I know you love me too

The reason I will stay with you
I know that you love me too

Tere bina menoo chain nah aaveh, oh soniye
Tere bina menoo chain nah aaveh, oh soniye
Tere bina menoo chain nah aaveh, oh soniye
Tere bina menoo chain nah aaveh, oh soniye

Reasons why I love you, seven
You are here and I'm in heaven
Reasons why I love you, eight
When it's good, you make it great

Reasons why I love you, nine
You turn my water into wine
The reason I will stay with you
I know you'll love me too

The reason I will stay with you
I know that you love me too

Tere bina menoo chain nah aaveh, oh soniye
Tere bina menoo chain nah aaveh, oh soniye

The reason I will stay with you
I know that you love me too

Tere bina menoo chain nah aaveh, oh soniye
Tere bina menoo chain nah aaveh, oh soniye

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
