Give Me One Reason
Give Me One Reason Lyrics & Chords
Here is my attempt at covering Tracy Chapman’s Give Me One Reason. This is the first Blues number I have done on Muziboo. Love to get everyones feedback on this one. This song won a Grammy in 1996 and has always been on my playlist. Hope you all enjoy this one :-)
Lyrics:
[ Gimme one reason to stay here
And I’ll turn right back around
Gimme one reason to stay here
And I’ll turn right back around
Said I don’t wanna leave you lonely
You gotta make me change my mind ]
Baby, I got your number
Oh, and I know that you got mine
You know that I called you, I called too many times
You can call me, baby, you can call me anytime
You’ve got to call me
[ repeat ]
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
A 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
[ repeat ]
Baby, just gimme one reason
Oh, gimme just one reason why
Baby, just gimme one reason
Oh, gimme just one reason why I should stay
Said I told you that I loved you and there ain’t no more to say

Wow, I never heard a male do this song, but this was a terrific performance. Great blues feel and attitude. I was rather taken a back by it, though I haven’t really known you that long.
I guess it’s because of some of the other music I’ve seen on your site that sounds quite foreign to me, I didn’t expect anything like this.
That really was superb !!!!
