Give me a reason --- Janet Gabriel



I was giving you all you were frontin'

Saying that you don't need me then braggin'

To your friends that we've got something going'

Letting them know that you're in control

Then I found out just what you were doin'

And now I know the way that you're thinkin'

Now it's time that I asked you a question

What would you choose, my love or your pride



Take your time, think it thru' tll the truth

And you can decide what you want to do

Pick your words carefully make no mistake

Choose or lose now before it's to late!



Chorus,



You've gotta give ne a reason

For me to hang around

When all you do is hurt me

And try to bring me down



You've gotta give me a reason

For me to stay with you

When this love's not workin'

And you can't see it thru'





All I want is a little respectin'

And I don't think that's too much expectin'

Did you think you could hurt me for nothin'

Figure it out or you will miss out

Are you strong as to make a decision

Now that you understand my position



Make it right now or don't u know how

Do you think you can walk over me?

I'm better than that

You just dont see

Give me a reason why I shouldn't leave

Prove to me now make me believe



Chorus

You've gotta give ne a reason

For me to hang around

When all you do is hurt me

And try to bring me down



You've gotta give me a reason

For me to stay with you

When this love's not workin'

And you can't see it thru'



Spoken: It's not right...



You want me to hang around

And let you bring me down

Want me to stay with you

When you can see this thru'

You want me to hang around

And let you bring me down



No no no no



You want me to hang around

And let you bring me down

Want me to stay with you

When you can see this thru'

You want me to hang around

And let you bring me down



Chorus



You've gotta give ne a reason

For me to hang around

When all you do is hurt me

And try to bring me down



You've gotta give me a reason

For me to stay with you

When this love's not workin'

And you can't see it thru'
