You wrote down your story in a paperback
So caught up in the details that you kind of lost your track
So after all these years gone that you forgot to miss
Tell me how much does it hurt you when you can’t give your kids a kiss?
So when your story has to end
Does it turn out the way that you pretend?
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason why I should love you
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason why I should love, I should love, I should love you
All these years I never see you I create in my mind
The image of a bastard who won’t give up his time
His patience or his money to see the children he once made
Grow up into adults that will spit upon his grave
And while you were wasting all your ink
Tell me, did you ever stop to think
To give me one good reason
Give me one good reason why I should love you
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason why I should love, I should love, I should love you
And when it’s all said and done
I hope you know that I am not your son
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason why I should love you
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason why I should love, I should love, I should love you
