That's the Reason Why
I don't believe in love on the borrow
Here today and then gone tomorrow
You've got to stick by me through the bad days
It's forever, now and always
So if you want me, go out and buy a ring
You gotta show me before I do a thing
Before I start to kiss you, before I start to miss you
Before I let you take my heart
'Cause I know a lot of guys
They go along telling lies and breaking hearts
They make you cry
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
Don't you know you got prove that your love is real
Let the preacher close the deal
I don't wanna take a chance
On just a fly-by-night romance
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
Don't you know you got prove that your love is real
Let the preacher close the deal
I don't wanna take a chance
On just a fly-by-night romance
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
Now I don't mean to be hard on you (that's the reason why, the reason why)
But baby this is what I gotta do (that's the reason why, the reason why)
You know so many guys have come around (that's the reason why, the reason why)
Here today and then gone tomorrow
You've got to stick by me through the bad days
It's forever, now and always
So if you want me, go out and buy a ring
You gotta show me before I do a thing
Before I start to kiss you, before I start to miss you
Before I let you take my heart
'Cause I know a lot of guys
They go along telling lies and breaking hearts
They make you cry
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
Don't you know you got prove that your love is real
Let the preacher close the deal
I don't wanna take a chance
On just a fly-by-night romance
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
Don't you know you got prove that your love is real
Let the preacher close the deal
I don't wanna take a chance
On just a fly-by-night romance
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
Now I don't mean to be hard on you (that's the reason why, the reason why)
But baby this is what I gotta do (that's the reason why, the reason why)
You know so many guys have come around (that's the reason why, the reason why)
