Lorrie Morgan & Sammy Kershaw

Every man needs a reason

To get up in the morning and shave
He needs an incentive
And not just a promotion

With more pain
He needs someone to stand by him
To keep his mind from leaving

I need the same thing too
I need you to be my reason.


I need you to be
All of everything to me
To let me know I am alive

Without you by my side
I might as well lay down and die
I don't want to just exist

And ever I taste your kiss
Oh, And keep on breathing
No one else will do

I need you to be my reason.

Every woman needs a reason

To paint her lips and do her hair
She needs him to notice
She'll get the feeling he don't care

Someone to send her roses
And everyone knows they're out of season
I need the same thing too

I need you to be my reason.

I need you to be,

All of everything to me
To let me know I am alive
Without you by my side

I might as well lay down and die
I don't want to just exist
And ever I taste your kiss

Oh, And keep on breathing
No one else will do
I need you to be my reason.


No one else on earth will do
I want you to be my reason...
