The horizon can be a funny thing
It inspires me to rise up, take wing
And one of these days I might just fly away if things around here don't change
'cause I know I haven't been happy in a while
But I know I used to think of you and smile
Give me a reason to feel good.
Give me a reason
Hope and pray, knock on wood
That your reason is good enough to make me stay here
Just keep running around with them pretty things
But don't wonder why our love life's suffering
You know nothing lasts forever, not even your empire
Not even your hopes and dreams
'cause I know you haven't told the truth in a while
And I've become suspicious of your smile
I aint a fool - not even for the likes of you
I aint no fool - not even for the likes of you
Won't play the fool, no, no, no, not even for you
Won't play your fool - that's not what I'm here to do.
Give me a reason to feel good.
Give me a reason
Hope and pray, knock on wood
That your reason is good enough to make me stay here
But you can't make me stay here.
