The Alan Parsons Project - One Good Reason lyrics

(Lead vocal - Eric Woolfson)

Gimme one good reason why I
Should listen to you
I need one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Gimme some air or I can't breathe
I can't see so I can't believe
Show me just a little more oh oh gimme one

Gimme one good reason why I
Should listen to you
Just one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Under your thumb ain't no place to hide

I can't choose and I can't decide
Gotta be a better way oh oh gimme one
I keep making the same mistake
No win no lose no give and no take
I'm just playing a simple game
And I don't wanna ask you again and again

For one good reason why I
Should listen to you
Just one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Under your spell ain't no place to be
Don't mess around with a fool like me
Help me just a little more
Oh oh gimme one, gimme one

Well I keep making the same mistake
No win no lose no give and no take
And I'm just playing a simple game
And I don't wanna ask you again and again

For one good reason why I
Should listen to you
Just one good reason why I should do
What you want me to
Pull on the string you hold in your hand
Making me jump like a one man band
Gotta be a better way oh oh gimme one
One good reason
