That's The Reason

This is a story of my life

About a little girl once I knew

I was very much in love with this girl

And this the way the story goes

You walked on me

Just like I was dirt, yes, you did

You gave me love

And then you gave me hurt

But darling, in spite of all your wrongs

My love for you keeps growing strong

And that's the reason (That's the reason)

And that's the reason (That's the reason)

I say that's the reason, baby

I can't leave you alone (Leave you alone)

Listen, my friends ask me, yes, they did

Just why I put up with you

They say I should leave you

And find me a love that's true

And darling, my friends, they just can't see

That your love, your love's got a hold on me

And that's the reason (That's the reason)

And that's the reason (That's the reason)

I say that's the reason, baby

I can't break away from you (Leave you alone)

It's alright, I know you're no good, baby

And you're stone mean and evil

And your love, like a monkey on my back, yes, it is

But if I leave you

I will, I will come crawling back

And that's the reason (That's the reason)

You know I love you, baby (That's the reason)

Come on back home, baby

I tell you, honey
