Lyrics
Three Good Reasons
1.
I want to tell you something and its something that’s true
I’ve never felt the way that I am feeling for you
It’s a strange sensation and I have an inclination to cry
Pre-chorus/Lift:
You made me feel this way and I’ve just got to say
Before you fade out of sight, I’ll give you three good reasons
Why you should love me tonight
Chorus:
One oh, you know I want you
Two oh, oh, I’ll never hurt you
Three oh, oh, oh, I never want us to part
2.
I really wasn’t ready; I was caught on the hop
What ever you are doing I don’t want you to stop
You have sent my senses reeling and if I lose this feeling I will die
Pre-chorus/Lift:
You made me feel this way and I’ve just got to say
Before you fade out of sight, I’ll give you three good reasons
Why you should love me tonight
Chorus:
One oh, you know I want you
Two oh, oh, I’ll never hurt you
Three oh, oh, oh, I never want us to part
Instrumental:
Pre-chorus/Lift:
You made me feel this way and I’ve just got to say
Before you fade out of sight, I’ll give you three good reasons
Why you should love me tonight
Chorus 2:
One oh, you know I want you
Two oh, oh, I’ll never hurt you
Three oh, oh, oh, I never want us to part
One oh, I’ll always need you
Two oh, oh, I’ll never leave you
Three oh, oh, oh, I love you with all of my heart
3.
Three good reasons that turned into six
Pick any three and you’ll get a good mix
I want you and I need you and I love you with all of my heart
Tag/Chorus:
You made me feel this way and I’ve just got to say
Before you fade out of sight
I’ll give you three good reasons
Why you should love me tonight
I’ll give you three good reasons
Why you should love me tonight
I’ll give you three good reasons
Why you should love me tonight
Very, very, very good! I love Buddy Holly and I'm sure Buddy would have loved to write this one.This is a fine tribute to the style of Buddy Holly. Guy E. Trepanier
