Lyrics
Three Good Reasons
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I'll give you three good reasons for leavin'.
Number one is that I've forgotten number two.
Number three is in a place that's been kept hidden,
For so long I can't remember, but its true.
Then I'll give you three more reasons for leavin'.
Where the first no, weren't so bad as the next two.
But rest assured that the third will leave you grieving,
From a tale that's as sad as it is true.
Every night, all night long,
I sit and count alone.
But every day, nothin's new,
I can't find one and two.
Every night, all night long,
I sit and count alone.
But every day, nothin's new,
I can't find one and two.
But I'll give you three good reasons for leavin'.
Number one is that I've forgotten number two.
Yeah, number one is that I've forgotten number two.
Number one is that I've forgotten number two.
