Peabo Bryson

[Intro]
10,000 reasons not to want to
10,000 reasons, baby, one should be enough

[Verse 1]
Staying alive
There's a voice in my head tells me God is not dead
And I will survive
I will conquer my fear and I won't shed a tear
And I will decide
What you can't control, takes a piece of your soul

[Pre-Chorus]
Callous rumors, innuendo
Too much talking, too many egos

[Chorus]
10,000 reasons not to love you
10,000 not to need so much
10,000 reasons not to want you
10,000 reasons, baby, one should be enough

[Verse 2]
My back to the wall
At the end of my hope and the end of my rope
Still standing tall
I would face every test and I'll give it my best
You rise or you fall
It's a choice that you make, one more chance that you take

[Pre-Chorus]
Callous rumors, innuendo
Too much talking, too many egos

[Chorus]
10,000 reasons not to love you
10,000 reasons not to need so much
10,000 reasons not to want you
10,000 reasons, baby, one should be enough

[Bridge]
Are you there with a friend? Hang around
Talk about you when you're down
Ooh, down and out
Oh, oh, friends 'til the end
You're on your own, you're on your own
10,000 reasons
10,000 reasons not to love you
10,000 reasons not to want you
10,000 reasons, one should be enough

[Chorus]
10,000 reasons not to love you
10,000 reasons not to need so much
10,000 reasons not to want you
10,000 reasons, baby, one should be enough
