Give Me A Reason

Madness


Well we change from one extreme to another 
Can you help me with my shame 
I didn't mean to when I kicked and punched 
From nowhere this demon came 

Forgive me for this mindless mood 
Accept this honest plea 
Don't use me for the devil's food 
And throw away the key 

Give me a reason so I've got 
Someone else to blame 
Give me the reason so I've got 
Something else to blame 

I only meant to wipe away the cries 
With the softness of my hand 
I didn't mean to break the tie 
I'm after all a family man 

Give me a reason so I've got 
Someone else to blame 
Give me the reason so I've got 
Something else to blame 

Give me the reason 
Give me a reason 

I am the master of this house 
Don't try to run away 
I tried the same things at your age 
And I was also made to pay 

Forgive me for this mindless mood 
Accept this honest plea 
Don't use me for the devil's food 
And throw away the key 

Mister patience and Misses alike 
Upon and throughout the land 
A lot of attention 
With a heap of affection 
Wouldn't go astray 

Give me a reason so I've got 
Someone else to blame 
Give me the reason so I've got 
Something else to blame 

This is the reason, one of the reasons 

I am the reason so I've got only myself to blame 
I am the reason so I've got no-one else to blame
