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 want leave you lonely
You got to make me change my mind
Baby I got your number
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
ooh yes... 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
Because I don't want leave you lonely
you got to 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
and rock me through the night
This youthful heart can love you
and give you what you need
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
Because I don't want leave you lonely
You got to make me change my mind
Baby just give me one reason,
ooohhh Give me just one reason why
Baby just give me one reason,
Give me just one reason why
I should stay
Said I told you that I loved you.....,
And there ain't no more to say...
