[Intro]
I don't believe in love on the borrow
Here today and then gone tomorrow
You got to stick with me through the bad days
It's forever, now and always

[Verse 1]
So if you want me, go out and buy a ring
You gotta show me before I do a thing
Before I start to kiss you, before I start to miss you
Before I let you take my heart
'Cause I know a lot of guys
They go along telling lies and breaking hearts
They make you cry

[Chorus]
That's the reason why (that's the reason why, the reason why)
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)

[Verse 2]
Don't you know you gotta prove that your love is real
Let the preacher close the deal
I don't wanna take a chance
On just a fly-by-night romance

[Chorus]
That's the reason why (that's the reason why, the reason why)
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
That's the reason why (that's the reason why, the reason why)
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)

[Reprise]
Don't you know you gotta prove that your love is real
Let the preacher close the deal
I don't wanna take a chance
On just a fly-by-night romance

[Chorus]
That's the reason why (that's the reason why, the reason why)
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)

[Outro]
Now I don't mean to be hard on you (the reason why, that's the reason why)
But baby this is what I gotta do (the reason why, that's the reason why)
You know so many guys have come around (the reason why)
