I don’t want no one to squeeze me
they might take away my life
I don’t want no one to squeeze me
they might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me
and rock me through the night

This youthful heart can love you
yes and give you what you need
I said this youthful heart can love you
and give you what you need
But I’m too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy

Give me one reason to stay here
and I’ll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
and I’ll turn right back around
Said, I don’t want leave you lonely
You got to make me change my mind

Baby just give me one reason
Give me just one reason why
Baby just give me one reason
Give me just one reason why I should stay
Said I told you that I loved you
And there ain’t no more to say
