Give Me One Reason Lyrics

(by Tracy Chapman)

[ Gimme one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Gimme one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Said I don't wanna leave you lonely
You gotta make me change my mind ]

Baby, I got your number
Oh, and I know that you got mine
You know that I called you, I called too many times
You can call me, baby, you can call me anytime
You've got to call me

[ repeat ]

I don't want no one to squeeze me
They might take away my life
I don't want no one to squeeze me
They might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me
Oh, and rock me through the night

A youthful heart can love you
Yes, and give you what you need
I said this youthful heart can love you
Oh, and give you what you need
But I'm too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy

[ repeat ]

Baby, just gimme one reason
Oh, gimme just one reason why
Baby, just gimme one reason
Oh, gimme just one reason why I should stay
Said I told you that I loved you and there ain't no more to say
