One Good Reason Lyrics

from "Stagepass"(Live at the Agora), 1976, EMI Records Group 
          I can't conceive of trying
          Trying it all again
          For one time I'm not buying
          All the lies that never end
          I think we've gone about as far
          as we're ever gonna go
          And seeing you for what you are
          was enough to let me know


     (CHORUS:)
     Ain't nothing you can say now
     gonna make me change my mind
     Just give me one good reason
     why I ought to love you
     One good reason, why I shouldn't
     put someone above you


          Look who's going under
          Trying to make it last
          Don't want to steal your thunder
          but the time for saving's past
             (It's so far gone)
          And all the talk that's going down
          well, I never ever bought a line
          No reason left to hang around
          And I just don't have the time


     (CHORUS:)
     Ain't nothing you can say now
     gonna make me change my mind
     All I need is one good reason
     Tell me why--why I ought to love you
     One good reason
     Ya got to give me one

     All I need is one good reason
     Tell me why, why I ought to love you
     One good reason
     Baby, it's the end
