Beg You For A Reason Leo & Gertjan Wijnalda, april 1996 about 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. listen to it   [ realaudio ] there is currently no recording of this song available. Beg You For A Reason (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 run Beg 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 why I 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 tough Repeat 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 hands Repeat Chorus Remember the good times Remember the bad times Whatever happened, we were holding hands
