"Give Me a Reason"

Just give me a reason why we fuss and fight
Give me a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Is there a reason why you fall for other girls
When I thought I was the number one baby in your world

Give me a reason why you make me cry
Is there a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Tell me the reason why you tour around the world
And why in god's name you want to make me into your clown

Even though baby you did me wrong now baby
The feeling inside of me baby is so strong
I've tried in a million ways to make you happy
But I keep on wondering do you love me

Give me a reason
I need a reason
Is there a reason

If I give you the chance I know you would leave me now baby
After all we've been through, our plans about tomorrow
You've broken my heart, baby, you've ruined my soul
Is there a chance for me, tell me or let me go

Give me a reason why we fuss and fight
Is there a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Tell me the reason why you fall for other girls
When I thought I was the number one baby in your world

Just give me a reason why you make me cry
Is there a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
Is there a reason why you tour around the world
And why in god's name do you make me into your clown
