from "Stagepass"(Live at the Agora), 1976, EMI Records Group

I can't conceive of trying

Trying it all again

For one time I'm not buying

All the lies that never end

I think we've gone about as far

as we're ever gonna go

And seeing you for what you are

was enough to let me know





(CHORUS:)

Ain't nothing you can say now

gonna make me change my mind

Just give me one good reason

why I ought to love you

One good reason, why I shouldn't

put someone above you





Look who's going under

Trying to make it last

Don't want to steal your thunder

but the time for saving's past

(It's so far gone)

And all the talk that's going down

well, I never ever bought a line

No reason left to hang around

And I just don't have the time





(CHORUS:)

Ain't nothing you can say now

gonna make me change my mind

All I need is one good reason

Tell me why--why I ought to love you

One good reason

Ya got to give me one



All I need is one good reason

Tell me why, why I ought to love you

One good reason

Baby, it's the end
