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
