Tell me
One more time the reason why you must leave
Tell me again why you think you don't need me
Tell me again but don't think you'll convince me.

You said
About fallin' in love again you'd rather be dead
When somebody breaks your heart you cry your eyes red
There's nothin' so hard about the life that you led.

As far as I can see there's no reason for goodbye
Cause you're just runnin' scared and that's something I won't buy.

So you lose
I won't let you go and nothin' to show but more blues
And all this talk about leavin' is strictly bad news
You settle down and stay with the girl who loves you.

As far as I can see there's no reason for goodbye
Cause you're just runnin' scared and that's something I won't buy.

So you lose
I won't let you go and nothin' to show but more blues
And all this talk about leavin' is strictly bad news
You settle down and stay with the girl who loves you.

You settle down and stay with the girl who loves you
You settle down and stay with the girl who loves you
You settle down and stay with the girl who loves you.
