One Good Reason

(album: Thick As Thieves - 1978)

You just sit there talking like there's something left to say
So I guess I'll be walking 'cause there's better games to play
I'm in love with you but I've got things to do

If you're looking for attention that's not hard to understand
But I can't stand the tension 'cause I've given all I can
I'm in love with you but I've got feelin's too

Give me one good reason to listen
Give me one good reason to stay
Without some give and take, something's gonna break
And I can't go on
Can't go on this way

Tomorrow I'll be history and you'll be all alone
And you'll struggle with the mystery and listen for the phone
Don't be concerned
Call it a lesson learned

Give me one good reason to listen
Give me one good reason to stay
Without some give and take, something's gonna break
And I can't go on
Can't go on this way
