One Good Reason - David Kersh

(Tim Mensy/Roger Springer)

When I came to this morning she was packing up her things
Even with my pounding head I could hear her call me names
"You don't work, and drink and fish and dance and party-loving fool"
Rolled off her tongue and all I could say was "Baby think it through"

And give me one good reason why you wanna leave me
You know I love you baby just calm down and take it easy
Lay down here beside me
No need for quick decisions
Before you throw all this away
Give me one good reason

She said "You ain't brought a flower into this house in years
Your gift to me last Valentine's was a case of your favorite beer.
Did I forget to mention I can't stand the sight of you?"
I said, "Don't sugar-coat it baby, you know I can take the truth"

Give me one good reason why you wanna leave me
You know I love you baby just calm down and take it easy
Lay down here beside me
No need for quick decisions
Before you throw all this away
Give me one good reason

Give me one good reason why you wanna leave me
You know I love you baby just calm down and take it easy
Lay down here beside me
No need for quick decisions
Before you throw all this away
Give me one good reason
