Give Me One Reason
Tracy Chapman 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, oh, and I know that you got mine
But you know that I called you, I called too many times
You can call me baby, you can call me anytime
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 want 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, oh, and rock me through the night
This youthful heart can love you, yes, and give you what you need
I said this youthful heart can love you, oh, and give you what you need
But I'm too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy
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
Because I don't want leave you lonely
You got to make me change my mind
Baby just give me one reason, give me just one reason why
Baby just give me one reason, give me just one reason why I should stay
Said I told you that I loved you
And there ain't no more to say

Tracy has an amazing voice. I think she didnโt quite get where she was destined to be. I feel like a singer of her caliber should have been much more famous and played on the radio significantly more.
Jess Rivera
Ahead of her time in our society yet forever timeless!
Pappy Bones
Maybe she should have gotten more radio play but lets be honest.....that would take away some of the magic of her music.
Joseph Bossman
She didn't want the limelight.
New Revelation Universe
She got where she was going. She's amazing and followed her path. โค
ingrid george

Joe Marie De Guzman
She is one of the artists that has the most unique voice and singing style.
Angie McCrory
