Give One Reason

Tom Jones · Other Songs - Tom Jones

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

But you got to make me change my mind



Baby, I got your number

And I know that you got mine

But you know that I called you

I called too many times

You can call me, baby

You can call me anytime

But 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

But 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 then... Rock me through the night



Now, your youthful heart can love me

and give you what I need

This youthful heart can love me

And give me exactly what I need

Because, you see, 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

But you got to make me change my mind



Now, Give me just one reason

Give me just one reason why

I should stay



Give me just one reason, just one reason why



Because I told you that I loved you

And there ain't no more to say
