I've got to have a reason

I got to have a reason

I got to have a reason why

You're walkin' out on me



There's somethin' on your mind

But you won't tell me

Mmm, tell me why you're cryin'

And I will help you, help you, help you



But I gotta have a reason

I got to have a reason

I got to have a reason why

You're walkin' out on me



If there is someone else

Then I would like to know

But you know I'm never ever gonna find out

If you won't tell me, tell me, tell me



But I gotta have a reason

I got to have a reason

I got to have a reason why

You're walkin' out on me



If you tell me what you're thinkin'

Everything will be all right (everything will be all right)

Love will never leave your side (love will never leave your side)

If you place your trust in me



I got to have a reason

I got to have a reason

I got to have a reason why

You're walkin' out on me



I got to have a reason

I got to have a reason
