If It Wasn't for the Reason That I Love You
[Verse 1]
Another day gone and I think of you
Wonder where you're going
Wonder what you do
Without me
[Verse 2]
A telephone call from a friend I know
Left me feeling bitter
Left me feeling so unhappy
'Cause if you couldn't wait for 24 hours
What good would telegrams and flowers do
[Chorus]
If it wasn't for the reason
That I love you baby
I wouldn't have another thing
To say to you
[Verse 3]
Might as well stay
For a day or two
Find another friend
And have a drink or two
To pass the time
[Verse 4]
Talking over troubles
In a whiskey daze
A little drop of cognac
Helps a man to face the lonely times
'Cause it's sad being home
And I've given up trying
I've got no lyin'
That I want to do
[Chorus]
[Verse 5]
Wish I could find a way
Make up the words to say
You cheated and you lied
You took away the little pride
I had inside
[Chorus]
[Verse 1]
[Verse 2]
[Verse 4]
[Verse 5]
