Oh won’t you give me a reason
I got no time to lose
The cards are on the table
The flies are on the food
How come I can hear poetry in motion
So soft and sweet
How can I give into the notion
When ya putting me to sleep?

Why don’t you have into the heat
Give into the day
Make the most of now
Throw the words away
Nothing is right
And nothing is wrong
You're taking it off
And I’m putting it on

Give me a reason to get up in the morning
Give me something to live for!
Give me a reason
Give me something to live for!

So ya running wild
I’d say what else is new?
You’ve got the time for leaving
The place we’re going to
It’s a world of changes
A long forgotten thing
We’re gonna re-arrange it
And make the rafters ring
Why don’t you have into the heat
Give into the day
Make the most of now
Throw the words away
Nothing is right
And nothing is wrong
You're taking it off
And I’m putting it on

Give me a reason to get up in the morning
Give me something to live for!
Give me a reason
Give me something to live for!

Give me a reason to get up in the morning
Give me something to live for!
Give me a reason
Give me something to live for!

Yeah, when it’s time for leaving
You’ll be coming too
To a world that changes
Do you believe it’s true?

Why don’t you have into the heat
Give into the day
Make the most of now
Throw the words away
Nothing is right
And nothing is wrong
You're taking it off
And I’m putting it on
Give me a reason to get up in the morning
Give me something to live for!
Give me a reason
Give me something to live for!
