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

Another day gone and I think of you

Wonder where you’re going

Wonder what you do

Without me

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

If it wasn’t for the reason

That I love you baby

I wouldn’t have another thing

To say to you

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

If it wasn’t for the reason

That I love you baby

I wouldn’t have another thing

To say to you

Another day gone and I think of you

Wonder where you’re going

Wonder what you do

Without me

A telephone call from a friend I know

Left me feeling bitter

Left me feeling so unhappy

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
