Lyrics

Good Reason

If you give me good reason why I should stay,
I'll postpone my leaving for another day,
I'm afraid we hit dry season and you ain't changed,
But you know I'm patient when it comes to rain

You ain't ever loved me and least I don't think,
I was ever thirsty when you sold me drink,
I been looking through this dirty on this window pane,
But you know I'm patient when it comes to rain

I don't know if I can wash away the stains,
But as long as clouds stands,
I will always wait

And I know you got your bodies but where are they now,
You can't only want me when these lights go down,
And I know we ain't no burden but we feel the strain,
But I'm always patient when it comes to rain

Looking for a quick drink boy you move too fast,
'cause you ain't ever sipping so it never lasts,
You stay out there wasting all our numbered days,
'cause you know I'm waiting for that drop of rain

I don't know if I can wash away the stains,
But as along as clouds stands,
I will always wait

Oh oh oh,
Oh oh,
Oh oh oh,
Oh oh

If you give me good reason yeah yeah,
Why I should sta now,
Baby, well

I don't know if I can wash away the stains,
But as long as clouds stands,
I will always wait

If you give me good reason why I should stay,
I'll postpone my leaving for another day,
I'm afraid we've hit dry season and you ain't changed,
But you know I'm patient when it comes to rain
