Phyllis Hyman
Give Me One Good Reason to Stay
[Verse 1]
It's true I'm leaving
My bags are at the door
You and I, we can't make it
We can't make it no more
Don't ask where I'm going
I'm going over there
And one thing for sure
I'm getting out of here

[Chorus]
I see you standing there
Waiting there at the door
Is there something you wanna say?
'Cause I won't leave you
If you give me one good reason to stay
Woo, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
It's true I love you
But love is funny things
Heartache and trouble
Sometimes it will bring
It don't make sense
To go through this anymore
I can't count the times
We've been through this before
[Chorus]
I see you standing there
Waiting there at the door
Is there something you wanna say?
Oh, 'cause I won't leave you
If you give me one good reason to stay

[Bridge]
No more lies
No more excuses
I've taken all I can take
And I just can't take no more
It's time for us to break up
There's no way we can make up
No, not this time, it's for real

[Chorus]
I see you standing there
Waiting there at the door
Is there something you wanna say?
Hey, hey, 'cause I won't leave you
If you give me one good reason to stay
One good reason
If you give me one good reason, woo-ooh-ooh, to stay

[Outro]
(One good reason) To stay
(One good reason) To stay, to stay
(One good reason) To stay
No more lies
No more excuses
(One good reason) One good reason to stay
(One good reason) I've taken all I can take
Tell me why you want me here
One good reason (One good reason)
I'd stay
