Give Me a Reason Songtext
von Ken Hensley

I was downtown drinking with the boys
All of a sudden coming out of the noise
One of my so-called friends
About ruined my night

Told me you′ve been seen around
Told me you've been playing the town
Seemingly without respect
For the fact that you′re mine

If you think you're coming back to me
You're adding insult to injury
You better try your luck some other day

When you can (give me a reason) give me a reason
(Give me a reason) a reason to stay
Give me a reason to stay

The more I realize, the more it hurts
You′re out there acting like some small town flirt
Telling me you′re spending your nights
Dreaming of me


You're asking me to overlook
Asking me to let you off the hook
Well, obviously that′s not the way it's gonna be

You′re so busy making up my mind
I'm gonna do it in my own sweet time
Come back, baby, when you′ve got something better to say

When you can (give me a reason) give me a reason
(Give me a reason) a reason to stay
Give me a reason to stay

When you can (give me a reason)
I wanna hear it (give me a reason)
Give me a reason
Give a reason to stay (a reason to stay)

Take it away Danny

You're so busy making up my mind
I'm gonna do it in my own sweet time
Come back, baby, when you′ve got something better to say

When you can (give me a reason)
Give me a reason (give me a reason)
Give me a reason
Give me a reason, a reason to stay


Baby (give me a reason)
Give me a reason
(Give me a reason) oh, yeah
Give me a reason, a reason to stay

Baby (uh-uh, give me a reason)
Oh, give me a reason (give me a reason) uh-uh
Give me a reason, a reason to stay
Give me a reason (give me a reason)
Give me a reason (give me a reason)
I wanna hear it (give me a reason)
Oh, yeah, give me a reason to stay
Yeah, yeah, give me a reason
