One Good Reason Lyrics

I stand on my ground when we fight, no matter where we are
I am the sad clown with teared eyes, so happy on your own
We get some strange looks when we shout, clowning at the bar
It seems that I've hoped, now I found a match from my own heart

[Chorus:]

Just give me one good reason baby, one good reason now
One good reason, I should, I should hang around
One good reason

I often wonder how we look in other people's eyes
Wild lovers, explosive, and right above these eyes
She stands on her own ground when we kiss, poisoning my mind
I bet I found my match, to strike it up tonight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
