I can't conceive of trying,
  trying it all again
For one time I'm not buying
  all your 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...

     Ain't nothing you can say now
       gonna make me change my mind
     Just give me one good reason, 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, I just don't have the time...

     Ain't nothing you can say now
       gonna make me change my mind
     Just give me one good reason, one good reason
       Tell me why, why I ought to love you
     One good reason
       Gimme one...

     All I need is one good reason, one good reason
       Tell me why, why I ought to love you
     One good reason
       Baby, it's the end...







3 One Good Reason  (Michael Stanley)
Courtsey of Sony Music Special Products, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, Inc.

Studio version... live version on the Stagepass CD... very different song for me at this point in the old
career ... also marks a change in singing style due to the positive creative harassment of producer Bill Szymczyk ...
another great Sanborn solo ... in fact, we used four of his solos simultaneously on the fade, which, when
played over very large studio monitors at extreme volume can give the listener a rather accurate rendering of
a mental breakdown ... why would we do that? ... because we could...
