Song lyrics
Give me one reason to stay here and I’ll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here and I’ll turn right back around
Said I don’t wanna leave you lonely
You got to make me change my mind

Baby I got your number and I know that you got mine
You know that I've called you, I've called too many times
You can call me baby
You can call me anytime, but you got to call me

Give me one reason to stay here and I’ll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here and I’ll turn right back around
Said I don’t wanna leave you lonely
You got to make me change my mind

I don’t want no one to squeeze me
They might take away my life
I don’t want no one to squeeze me
They might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me
And rock me through the night

This youthful heart can love you, yes, and give what you need
This youthful heart can love you, boy, and give what you need
But I’m too old to go chasing you around wasting my precious energy

Give me one reason to stay here, yes, and I’ll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here, whow, and I’ll turn right back around
Said I don’t wanna leave you lonely
You got to make me change my mind

Baby just gives me one reason
Give me just one reason why
Baby just gives me one reason
Give me just one reason why I should stay
Because I told you that I loved you and there ain't no more to say

Swooning blues groove. So Southern. Tracy's vocal rumbles so deeply. Sensual.

I ADORE this song, it has such a feel good chilled out vibe to it. along with fast car, talking bout a reveloution and baby can i hold you; this is one of my fav songs by her!

minor point "She needs a reason to stay with the man" Tracy Chapman is gay (duh?) so its infact about another woman
