Mahalia - Good Reason

[Verse 1]
If you give me good reason why I should stay
I'll postpone my leavin' 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
You ain't never loved me, at least I don't think
I was ever thirsty when you sold me drink
I've been looking through the dirty on this window pane
But you know I'm patient when it comes to rain

[Chorus]
I don't know if I can wash away the stains
But as long as cloud stands
I will always wait

[Verse 2]
And I know you got your buddies but where are they now? Huh
You can't only want me when these lights go down (Lights go down)
And I know we ain't no burden but we feel the strain
And I'm always patient when it comes to rain, huh
Looking for a quick drink, boy, you move too fast
'Cause you ain't never sippin', so it never lasts uh
Will you stay out there wasting all our numbered days?
But you know I'm waiting for that drop of rain

[Chorus]
I don't know if I can wash away the stains
But as long as cloud stands
I will always wait

[Bridge]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh-oh, baby, no
(If you give me good reason, yeah, yeah, why I should stay)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Well, uh

[Chorus]
I don't know if I can wash away the stains (Hmm)
But as long as cloud stands
I will always wait

[Outro]
If you give me good reason why I should stay
I'll postpone my leavin' 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
