 Give me one reason to stay here
 B        C♯            F♯
 And I'll turn my back around

 Give me one reason to stay here
          C♯            F♯
 And I'll turn my back around
        C♯
 Said I don't want to leave you lonely
 B                               F♯
 You've got to make me change my mind

Baby I got your number                                     (drum embarque)
Oh, and I know that you've got mine
You know that I called you
I called you many times
You can call me baby
You can call me anytime you got to call me

  Refrain  (w/ du 7)

I don't want no one to squeeze me
They might take away my life
I don't want no one to squeeze me
They might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me
Oh, and rock me through the night

This youthful heart can love you                           (pause)
Yes and give you what you need                             (rembarque)
This youthful heart can love you
Oh, and give you what you need
But I'm too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy

  Refrain

  Baby just give me one reason
  Oh, give me just one reason why
  Baby just give me one reason
  Give me just one reason why (I should stay)
  Said I told you that I love you
  B7!
  And there ain't no more to say
