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...
