One Good Reason (Eric’s songwriting diary 4) Songtext
von The Alan Parsons Project

Gimme one good reason why I should listen to you
I need one good reason why I should do what you want me to

Gimme some air or I can′t breathe
I can't see so I can′t believe
Show me just a little more
Whoa, gimme one

Gimme one good reason why I should listen to you
Just one good reason why I should do what you want me to

Under your thumb ain't no place to hide
I can't choose and I can′t decide
Gotta be a better way
Whoa, gimme one
Gimme one

I keep making the same mistake
No win, no lose, no give, and no take
I′m just playing a simple game
And I don't want to ask you again and again

For one good reason why I should listen to you
Just one good reason why I should do what you want me to


Under your spell ain′t no place to be
Don't mess around with a fool like me
Help me just a little more
Whoa, gimme one
Gimme one

Well, I keep making the same mistake
No win, no lose, no give, and no take
And I′m just playing a simple game
And I don't want to ask you again and again

For one good reason why I should listen to you
Just one good reason why I should do what you want me to

Pull on the string you hold in your hand
Making me jump like a one-man band
Gotta be a better way
Whoa, gimme one (one good reason)

One good reason
(One good reason)
One good reason
(One good reason)
One good reason
(One good reason)
One good reason
(One good reason)
One good reason
