If It Wasn't For The Reason That I Love You Songtext

A telephone call from a friend I know

left me feeling bitter

left me feeling so unhappy



'Cos if you couldn't wait for 24 hours

what good would telegrams and flowers do



If it wasn't for the reason

that I love you baby

I wouldn't have another thing
to say to you



Might as well stay

for a day or two

Find another friend

and have a drink or two

to pass the time



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 wanna do



chorus



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
