GRAYSON HUGH

(I have performed "Give Me One Good Reason" both as a solo and as a duet, as in this version with my wife singer Polly Messer. i always felt this love ballad is one of those songs that could be done both as a soul-R&B and in a more country style.)


GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON 
(words & music by Grayson Hugh)



Lately I've been goin' to bed hungry

and wakin' up hungry too

I think I know the reason

I can't get enough of you

Well I know 

I know we've got our problems

but that ain't

ain't no cause to stop

 

Give me one good reason

to give it up

we can't stop believing

in what we've got

it ain't just a little

it's alot

yes it is now

hold on, pick it up baby now

don't let it drop

 

I don't think that we should worry

or argue anymore

we're quite a ways from perfect

but not so far from sure

we're gonna drive

we're gonna drive ourselves crazy

just thinking

thinking what it's not

 

Give me one good reason

to give it up

we can't stop believing

in what we've got

it ain't just a little

it's alot

yes it is now

hold on, pick it up baby now

don't let it drop

 

Oh come on with me one more time

goin' round, around, around, around, around

 

And on this road we've chosen

there's many a twist and turn

and many sights of beauty

and so many things

so many things to learn

we've come so far already

and we still ain't

still ain't reached the top

 

Give me one good reason

to give it up

we can't stop believing

in what we've got

it ain't just a little

it's alot

don't let it drop baby

we're so lucky girl

give me one good reason

give me one good reason

give me one good reason

give me one good reason
