Give me one reason to stay here

And I’ll turn right back around

Give me one reason to stay here

And I’ll turn right back around

Said I don’t wanna leave you lonely

You got make me change my mind

(full band comes in)

Baby I got you number

Oh and I know that you got mine
You know that I called you

I called you many times

You can call me baby

You can call me anytime

You got to call me

Give me one reason to stay here

And I’ll turn right back around

Give me one reason to stay here

And I’ll turn right back around

Said I don’t wanna leave you lonely

You got make me change my mind

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

SOLO 12 BARS

This youthful heart can love you

Yes and give you what you need

I said, this youthful heart can love you

And give you what you need

But I’m too old to go chasing you around

Wasting my precious energy

Give me one reason to stay here

And I’ll turn right back around

Give me one reason to stay here

And I’ll turn right back around

Said I don’t wanna leave you lonely

You got make me change my mind

Baby just give me one reason

Oh just give me one reason why

Baby just give me one reason

Oh just give me one reason why I should stay

Said I told you that I loved you

And there ain’t no more to say
