Giving Me a Reason

ONE TIME IN MY BOYISH DAYS

I WAS RACING IN A CAR

WHEN THE POLICE GAVE ME A REASON TO LEAVE

TWO TIMES IN PARADISE

I WAS DROWIN IN THE SAND

BROKE AND FINDING REASONS TO THEIVE

CHORUS:

I SHOULD'A RUN AWAY, BUT I CHOSE TO STAY

AND I BEEN STUCK ALL UP IN HERE EVERY DAY

I SHOULD'A RUN FAST, BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT'D LAST

AND I AIN'T GOT NOTHING LEFT WITH WHICH TO PAY

AND I'D WIN IF I EVER GOT MY WAY

THE THIRD TIME THAT I SAW YOU

WELL, YOU FINALLY LEARNED MY NAME

GIVING THE PHONE A REASON TO RING

FOUR WHOLE TIMES IN JUST ONE NIGHT

YOU WENT STOMPING/CRASHING/SLAMMING THROUGH THE DOOR

GIVING ME A REASON TO DRINK

CHORUS

FIVE YEARS' TIME DID ME NO GOOD

I JUST GOT KIND OF BORED

GIVING ME A REASON TO SLEEP

THERE WERE SIX OF THEM AND (ONLY) ONE OF ME

WHEN YOU CAME FROM ROUND THE BEND

GIVING ME A REASON TO FLEE

CHORUS
