Beg You For A Reason
Leo & Gertjan Wijnalda, april 1996about this song
the thing about this old songs is that they remind me more of my father than of what they were written about. they were more about the music than about the lyrics. however, there's some small lyrical bits i have contributed to this song of my father, and some music in the bridge and the end of the song. because it's essentially my father's song, i feel it's not up to me to explain its contents.there's also a dutch version, called je kan het niet verbergen.

(L. Wijnalda / G.L. Wijnalda)Sometimes you could have told me
The reason you've left me, the reason you're gone
And one day, you could have called me
Explain me the moment you thought that you won
But then think of me girl, you let me alone girl
You let me the question, why did you ever runBeg you for a reason, beg you for advice
Please let me know now, why did you say goodbye
Beg you for a reason, beg you for advice
I can't keep on living if you just don't answer whyI gave you my very best years, babe
Thought that all that we had, babe, would please you enough
I never did realise, babe
You wanted much more, babe, much more than my love
Was I such a fool, babe, to think you've been happy
My life has been lived now, surviving seems too toughRepeat Chorus
The way we were lovers
And friends among others
Seemed to be a certain 'xample for our friends
Remember the good times
Remember the bad times
Whatever happened, we were holding handsRepeat Chorus
Remember the good times
Remember the bad times
Whatever happened, we were holding hands
