Mahalia Good Reason Lyrics

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 saw me drink
I've been looking through the dirty on this window paint
But you know I'm patient when it comes to rain

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

And I know you got your buddies but where are they now?
You can't only want me when these 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

Looking for a quick drink boy you move too fast 'Cuz you ain't never sippin', so it never last
So, will you stay out there wasting all our numbered days?
But you know I'm waiting for that drop of rain

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

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
(If you give me good reason, yeah, yeah why I should stay)
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh

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

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
