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.
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Because I don' want to leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind
Baby I got your number and I know that you got mine
But you know that I called you
I called too many times
You can call me baby
You can call me anytime
But you got to call me
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Because I don't want to leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind
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 and rock me through night
This youthful heart can love you
And give you what you need
This youthful heart can love you
And give you what you need
But I'm too old to go chasing you around wasting my precious energy
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Because I don't want to leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind
Baby just give me one reason
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 loved you
And there ain't no more to say
