Single by Tracy Chapman from the album New Beginning Released March 19 1996 Recorded 1995 Genre Blues rock Give me one reason ---------------------------- Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around Because I dont want leave you lonely But you got to make me change my mind Baby I got your number and I know that you got mine But you know that I called you I called too many times You can call me baby you can call me anytime But you got to call me Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around Because I dont want leave you lonely But you got to make me change my mind I dont want no one to squeeze me - they might take away my life I dont want no one to squeeze me - they might take away my life I just want someone to hold me and rock me through the night This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need But Im too old to go chasing you around Wasting my precious energy Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around Because I dont want leave you lonely But you got to make me change my mind Baby just give me one reason - give me just one reason why Baby just give me one reason - give me just one reason why I should stay Because I told you that I loved you And there aint no more to say The song is a classic twelve bar blues both in musical structure and the repeated lyrics in each verse and chorus It is the story of an ending relationship and a plea from the narrator to her partner for the partner to convince her to remain to give me one reason to stay here and I'll turn right back around At the end of the song the partner is apparently given voice for the last line said I told you that I loved you and there ain't no more to say
