Why can't love be the reason
Why we can't hold on
I'm missing the feeling
Girl it's been so long
If you're thinking of leaving
I won't say no
Why can't love be the reason
Why we can't hold on

Ayy, yeah they said we'd never make it
Look now we celebrating
Put too much work in this, to quit
I swear I'm dedicated
I copped the Chevy, my man told me
I should never paint it
How he come up from the sticks so quick
Like damn, them folks was fascinated
All we had was faith we had to find a way
The road was never paved
No money ever came, but still we overcame
We had to fight so we could
Live to see another day

All that we've been through
It's too late to give up now
All I have is you
It's true, I think you know that too

Why can't love be the reason
Why we can't hold on
I'm missing the feeling
Girl it's been so long
If you're thinking of leaving
I won't say no
Why can't love be the reason
Why we can't hold on, why we can't hold on

Ayy girl you don't gotta wait
I'll be home right away
You hear my heartbeat
There's some things you just don't gotta say
If I hurt you, sorry
Just know I didn't mean it bae
Do you rock with me be honest bae

No matter where you go I'm here
Oh baby you've got nothing to fear

Why can't love be the reason
Why we can't hold on
I'm missing the feeling
Girl it's been so long
If you're thinking of leaving
I won't say no
Why can't love be the reason
Why we can't hold on, why we can't hold on

Why can't love be the reason
Why we can't hold on
Why can't love be the reason
Why can't love be the reason
Why we can't hold on
